Public Space theme world

Theme world Public Spaces | FSB

Creating public space means treading new paths. Because, the outdoor world is on the move. People’s approaches to their leisure time are changing, demographic change continues unabated, the calls for inclusive areas for movement are growing louder.

Decision-makers from local authorities, landscape architects, planners of public spaces and urban or district developers are facing manifold challenges today. They have to encounter the planning-related demands caused by the climate changes and create both public spaces and balance - between work and leisure, urban areas and green nature, classic sports and individual lifestyle sports. At the same time, the facilities should be inclusive, safe, sustainable and include age-appropriate, barrier-free access.

From a climbing frame to outdoor fitness equipment

The trade visitors of FSB can find solutions for these demands in the Public Space theme world. National and international exhibitors present their innovative and multifunctional products here. From modern playground equipment through to outdoor fitness equipment, they demonstrate their expertise in playground planning, landscape architecture, street furniture or urban design.

BSFH Bundesverband der Spielplatz- und Freizeitanlagenhersteller e.V.

Children’s playgrounds provide much more than just entertainment and fun; they also fulfil an essential role in the development of children. Play areas promote physical activity, social interaction and imagination, while also offering youngsters a safe space in which they can discover their abilities and grow as individuals.

The BSFH asserts itself to make sure there are enough children's playgrounds nationwide and that they are continually further developed to satisfy the children's needs. Sustainable management is a key element of BSFH's commitment. The association promotes the production of play areas and leisure facilities that are produced in a resource and environmentally-friendly way. Here, innovative materials and technologies are implemented to guarantee the longevity of the facilities and at the same time minimise the ecological footprint.

As the long-term partner of FSB, the BSFH is actively involved in the concept and planning of the Public Space section and supports the themes of the planerFORUM.
