Welcome to Urban Bench Designs! If a bench near you has an unusual slat pattern, support profile, or dedication plate, we would enjoy hearing about it. Walking notes and photo comparisons are welcome too, whether from a single street or a longer survey route.

The history of humankind is the history of urbanization

The history of humankind is the history of urbanization. Few images speak to this phrase so well as these maps showing how the spatial distributional of population densities in France changed between the late 1800s and nowadays.

These maps were created by Magali Talandier, and they are part of her research on the long-term changes in the regional development of France. This paper might be of particular interest.
