Cities have a particularly high traffic volume and are characterized by various modes of locomotion: traffic routes and public spaces are shared among cars, delivery vans, cyclists, pedestrians, and local public transport.

Wrecked park benches, smeared walls, knocked over traffic signs: vandalism remains a major problem for many public administrations. For one thing, property damage increases the public risk of injury.

At first, a bench is just a bench, at least for the indifferent passer-by. But at a closer look, it rapidly becomes clear: there are several things to consider before making a selection.

Traffic development in urban areas - Critical points in urban traffic - Requirements for a functioning cycling infrastructure - Bicycle paths and lanes – a universal solution?

Cities are, in most cases, grown structures. What often appears to be arbitrary and random – always happend according to their conditions, requirements, and possibilities.

In times of overcrowded inner cities, traffic jams, and the eternal search for a parking spot, more and more people are switching to bicycles.

The common bollard from our example is embedded in concrete. For this purpose, a sufficiently large hole is dug in the ground.

The denser the concrete, the higher is its compressive strength. The so-called bulk density of concrete is determined by the choice of supplements.

But did civilization truly got worse since humans massively intervened in nature? Among all the unquestionable negative repercussions of structural change, aren’t there also some positive effects of urbanization?

A construction material with an impact on us and our lives like no other. Concrete goes along with modern mankind wherever you go.
