Petition Ban the use of anti-homeless architecture.

Anti-homeless architecture is hidden in plain sight. Its aim is to prevent those living rough from sleeping in certain places away from the elements at night. It includes anything from studs in the ground to separations in benches which aim to keep our national shame out of sight and out of mind.

More details

This isn’t how we should care for homeless people. When we prevent certain groups (homeless or not) from using public spaces, we change the definition of what public is. this hostile architecture makes our communities more hostile overall. Cities should invest in helping individuals, not in architecture trying to hide them away.

This architecture is not how we end homelessness.
