URBAN+ FUN FACT (UFF)
In the early 1900s, Sydney City Council launched one of Australia’s first coordinated public seating projects. Inspired by European urban planning, these strategically placed benches provided rest areas for pedestrians and encouraged social interaction in city spaces.
Today, seating remains a crucial element of public design, supporting accessibility, comfort, and community engagement in urban environments.
