Can hostile architecture be used to promote innovation?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions, but it is not ethical or moral to use hostile architecture to promote innovation. Hostile architecture is a form of urban design that seeks to restrict certain behaviors and demographics from using public spaces. It is designed to prioritize the interests of business owners and property developers over the needs of people and communities. This type of architecture often reinforces inequalities and injustices, and it is not a sustainable approach to urban planning. Instead, innovative and inclusive architectural design should prioritize the needs of all people, including marginalized communities, and focus on creating safe and accessible public spaces for everyone.
