It is therefore very important to take into account the integration of city furniture into the urban architecture, the efficiency of its function, its ergonomics and maintainability at the time of choosing. Small-scale tests allow these issues to be addressed before deploying the equipment on a large scale. The characterization of the quantities of waste and of the time required for maintenance allow us to make consequent choices.
