Leading cities and metropolitan regions around the globe are increasingly restricting access to motorized traffic, thereby transforming urban landscapes and creating opportunities for the development of spaces that prioritize citizen well-being, social interaction, and physical activity. This shift is accompanied by environmental challenges, including more frequent extreme heat events due to climate change, and air pollution, both of which pose health risks and reduce overall living comfort in urban areas. This paper presents the development of a set of modular urban furniture designed to foster inclusive public spaces while simultaneously enhancing environmental conditions through the incorporation of climate shelters, urban greenery and advanced technologies for fabrication and air quality improvement. R.ES.P.I.R.A identified a catalogue of urban furniture responding to pressing needs through a collaborative analysis with local residents, including usability studies and the identification of potential sites. Throughout the design phase, work-in-progress states were communicated and evaluated with the residents to ensure optimal and aligned results. The project includes the fabrication of multiple elements of the catalog and their implementation at two different sites. The prototypes were produced using digital fabrication technology such as 3D printing and CNC milling, eco-friendly materials like wood and cellulose fiber composites, and novel coating techniques for air purification and decarbonization. Following installation, they were tested and evaluated by participants involved in the co-design process and are currently co-mantained. The project serves as a practical demonstration of a model process for creating sustainable urban environments via democratic design and community involvement.
