Stupid design decisions in public places
We often form our opinion of a city by evaluating the quality of its public spaces. If they give us a hard life, chances are we won't be too excited. That is why stupid design decisions in public places are so visible.

They make us sit on uncomfortable benches, walk-on dirty floors.
To show how ridiculous this can be, we've rounded up some of the worst public space "solutions" ever made - we deserve better.
