More benches in the outdoor environment
Summary
We want older persons to be physically active as long as possible. When we ask older persons many of them say that they want to be able to take a long walk. During this walk they want to have the possibility to rest on a bench. Sometimes that can be essential to take this walk. Based on this feedback, the municipality of Gävle invited older persons to meetings where they could draw their wishes on a big map. The result was more benches all over the city of Gävle
