"Hostile Architecture"

"Hostile Architecture" HOSTILE ARCHITECTURE IS WHEN CITIES BUILD PUBLIC SPACES THAT LOOK COMPLETELY NORMAL TO RICH PEOPLE BUT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO USE. FOR EXAMPLE, ANYTIME THERE'S A BRIDGE, HOMELESS PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO UNDER THE BRIDGE. SO CITIES WILL COUNTERACT THIS BY LITERALLY DESIGNING THE BOTTOM OF TO BE IMPOSSIBLE A TENT. SOMETIMES THEY'LL USE AN INNOCENT DESIGN LIKE THAT DOESN'T LOOK HOSTILE AT ALL. BUT SOMETIMES IT'LL OBVIOUS USE SPIKES LIKE THIS. LOT OF BENCHES. THAT OUT OF NOWHERE IT SEEMS PUT AN ARMREST. THAT HELPFUL. DO THIS? WELL, DOESN'T PREVENT ANY RICH PERSON FROM ACTUALLY SITTING DOWN BUT ANY POOR PERSON WHO TRIES THE BENCH ARMRESTS JUST JABBED DESIGNED ON PURPOSE. THE DESIGN MAY SEEM INNOCENT, A REAL INTENTION BEHIND IT, IS NOT NECESSARILY GOOD. OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE LEAVING IN INTENTIONALLY SMALL EDGES THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE DOWN ON, SMALL SPIKES THAT MAKE LAYING DOWN ON SOMETHING LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
