In 2025, the role of bollards in urban planning has become more crucial than ever as cities evolve to support safer, more accessible, and pedestrian-centric environments. Bollards have transformed into strategic urban design elements. Far from being mere barriers, bollards contribute to the overall experience and visual identity of a city. Whether permanent, removable, or automated, they support both high-security needs and everyday public convenience across locations such as city centers, commercial districts, parks, promenades, educational campuses, and government buildings.
