All real.
The French authorities in Le Havre have erected a fake apartment building entry lobby made out of a container. Why? To curb the anti-social behavior that can sometime happen in the lobby areas of apartment blocks.
You give “le hoodies” a place to congregate and they’ll feck off and leave you alone. Foolproof.
Yes, that is a stairway to nowhere. It also has a fake lift and intercoms.
Genius or loopy?

I don’t think that’s the solution but the idea was good! BTW, i’m french 🙂
Love stuff like this. Imaginative and different and, yes, slightly loopy. Would be interested to see data on how it does/doesn’t improve anti social behaviour.
I’m not sure, a lot of the local kids they canvassed weren’t impressed at the idea of being manipulated. It’s a bit like Marge giving Homer the cake to destroy for himself when she wants him to stay away from her actual cake…
