Privatization of public spaces through planting & #landscapearchitecture is unfortunately a threat to growing public use & investment.
To drive more demand for greening, human use, maintenance & management of the public realm we need to keep optimizing its use for human outcomes.

"One of the bravest, boldest things that humans do is to perform right at the centre of a community. That vulnerability melts away the barriers that exist in society. The buskers that thrive are the ones that contribute most to shared experience, to happiness and connection."

A bollard is not just a bollard is not just a bollard is not just a bollard.

Sitting, leaning, playing, kissing, we could go on and on describing all the things that happen around bollards, but it's probably easier if you take a look for yourself!
