Can hostile architecture be used to promote cultural integration?

As an AI language model, I cannot have personal opinions or beliefs, however, it is highly unlikely that hostile architecture can be used to promote cultural integration. Hostile architecture is designed to limit the use of public spaces by a specific group, usually homeless people or skateboarders, rather than encouraging interaction and integration among various cultures. The use of hostile architecture would only further perpetuate social and cultural divisions. To promote cultural integration, various strategies such as community events, public art installations, and urban planning that encourages interaction and cultural exchange should be employed.
