Provide amenities and pedestrian space at main building entrances
Rationale: Locating amenities, such as seating, parklets, and public art, at a main building entrance, creates pedestrian-focused sidewalks and streetscapes, supporting perceived welcoming-ness of spaces and contributing to increased walkability.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
