Описание: The bench is free. At least for now. So is walking (ditto). 12 December 2018. At the corner of Euston Road and Dukes Road, London WC1. __________________________________ § www.mobike.com § Website of strongly recommended and fascinating: The Bench Project. And its link on Twitter. § Download free 2015 Research Report by The Young Foundation. "Benches for Everyone. Solitude in public, sociability for free'. Their report includes the Young Foundation's: "findings supporting the development of the Manifesto, and ‘Making Benches Better: Points for Action’. (see report below). Policy impacts include influencing agendas regarding public health, social experiences of living in city neighbourhoods, combating loneliness and isolation, design of public spaces, community safety and policing, supporting participation of elderly and young residents, and addressing hate crime and harassment." "A bench is an open gesture of welcome, an invitation to linger, however briefly. Benches create the opportunity for recognition through nodding and smiling that is fundamental to friendly communities. People enjoy mingling in public space, loosely interacting with others, and that these casual encounters foster a sense of belonging. This is particularly important because we found that, while all social groups use benches, the heaviest users are people with mental health problems, carers, older people, and those who are unemployed. Seen in this light, the availability of benches becomes an issue of inclusion, an important way of providing equal access to public space to more vulnerable members of the community. For these groups cafes as an alternative meeting place are simply too expensive and homes are often too small and too crowded." § Link with Google Maps.
