Urban furniture, as one of the terminal facilities of smart cities, is gaining an increasingly prominent status in urban construction. It plays a positive role in promoting effective urban management, providing public services, forming the characteristics of urban public spaces, and demonstrating the city's demeanor and quality image.
The design of WenSan Street urban smart furniture system revolves around the theme of 'digital' block, breaking the conventional impression of urban furniture shape. It is jointly constructed with cultural background and spatial environment, not only fulfilling the functional conditions of infrastructure, but also embodying cultural attributes of the district, providing an immersive shopping experience for urban dwellers. The whole system also applies intelligent screens and QR code-related technology, turning urban furniture into Internet of Things carriers, creating a sense of technological color for WenSan digital block, and enhancing the impression of Hangzhou as a digital city.
