 ann Robert Braun from Institut für Höhere Studien (IHS) Heinz Grünber
 ger from the Landeshauptstadt München  Eva Braxenthaler from Lokale Ag
 enda 21 in Vienna.\n \nPublic seating is an often overlooked\, yet surpri
 singly crucial\, cornerstone of any public space strategy. Well-placed and
  well-designed seating allows people stay\, linger\, and activate public s
 paces. Benches make public spaces more inclusive\, encouraging and facilit
 ating active mobility. But how much do we actually know about citizen need
 s and preferences when it comes to public seating? And how well equipped a
 re cities and public agencies to meet those expectations?\n\nThis webinar 
 aims at sharing lessons learned on enhancing city liveability by improving
  the quality of public seating – specifically through engaging with citi
 zens on their needs and preferences. A panel of experts will present the m
 ethods and key findings of three citizen engagement projects: CITIZEN BENC
 H (co-funded by EIT Urban Mobility in 2021\, and tested in Munich\, German
 y)\, Summer Streets (Munich\, Germany)\, and Grätzloase (Vienna\, Austria
 )\; and discuss the expectations of citizens on public seating\, along wit
 h challenges\, best practises\, and solutions that were identified in meet
 ing those expectations.\n\nThis webinar is part of the international proje
 ct "SEATING"\, co-funded by EIT Urban Mobility\, under the lead of EPFL's 
 Laboratory of urban Sociology.\n\nPlease find more information and the lin
