Take a Seat !
• The WHO guidelines state that• “The Availability of seating areas is generally
viewed as a necessary urban feature for older people; its difficult for many older people to walk around their neighbourhood without somewhere to rest”
• There are two options indoor seating and outdoor seating.
• The need to attract footfall and investment to the district centre is high to support growth and economic stability
