It’s called hostile architecture and it’s things like arm rests in the middle of a bench so you can’t lie down on it, or sloped windowsills so you can’t sit there.
I once saw a bench with a statue of a person sleeping on it. Wtf?
“To prevent the unsightly possibility of someone sleeping on this bench, we should put a statue of someone sleeping on this bench! Leave the useless bench there but also fuck you!”
What is “anti-homeless architecture”? Genuine question.
Edit: Also, thanks for the detailed answer.
