\ˈər-bə-mənt\
Etymology : From Latin urbanus, and Armament
Function : noun

1. The armament of an urban area. The use of water-jets, electrification, or any other form of protection for an urban setting.

The Lyon central park has water jets that prevent people from conglomerating in the public space. An area that ironically is ment to join the people, is now unable to complete that function.
