Camden bench en · NOUN
Meanings
-
A type of street furniture designed to restrict certain uses and behaviours and be usable only as a bench.
The Camden Bench is not an anomaly: more and more, our cities are being designed to keep those deemed as ‘undesirables’ out. By its very nature this is ‘hostile architecture’—urban design with a focus on exclusion, design that inhibits community and tells us who is welcome and who is not.
