Uncompromising design in security Bollards
Today, the places where we work, live and spend our free time need to look appealing. Beautiful spaces encourage pride and corporate responsibility. They engage the people who use them, and they can impact our wellbeing and increase our quality of life. And that’s vitally important when you consider that, according to the UN, by 2050, 68% of the world’s population will live in cities.
What’s more, there are also some compelling economic benefits when it comes to good-looking municipalities.
“Cities perceived as twice as attractive as others experienced more than 10% additional population growth and employment opportunities in the two decades leading to 2010.”

Nevertheless, while aesthetics and attractiveness is essential, our towns and cities also have to function. It doesn’t matter how good they look if the space is unsafe, inaccessible or unpleasant. When it comes to urban architecture and design, it’s essential to strike the right balance.
Our modern cities come with a raft of additional challenges. Due to current levels of car ownership and a lack of adequate car parking infrastructure, pavement parking has become inescapable in some areas. And, of course, with terrorism continuing to present a substantial threat in the UK, keeping people and places safe and secure is now critical.
One obvious solution to these challenges is measures such as bollards and barriers. But, historically, these haven’t always been welcome. Not least because frustrated councils, businesses and other organisations often stuck up out-of-place bollards in a desperate bid to solve a problem – without thinking about how they would impact on the look and feel of an area. They did the job, but the result was far from attractive or appealing.
Bollard design vs functionality
When it comes to bollards, you don’t have to choose either design or functionality. Bollards don’t have to be a necessary evil as the latest rages from ESF show. Aesthetics don’t have to be compromised due to safety concerns. Indeed, while there are concerns about “street clutter”, when a considered approach is used, it is possible to create lively, attractive neighbourhoods that are full of life, and which are designed to keep people and places safe and secure.
