RE-CREATING HUMAN SCALED STREETS
Abstract
This study deals with issues of creating a vivid and pedestrian oriented street network. It is an emerging and vital question in a domain of urban sustainability and place-making for most cities. This research seeks to explore an increasing number of diverse studies regarding the public realm and streetscape. The aim is to set a background for spatial analysis of case studies. This paper uses case studies analysis as the main method through which it develops the systematization for a further study of this theme. Streets and public life as the subjects of this research are categorized through main aspects: spatial aspect, aspects of meanings, sustainability and implementation. As a result, all four aspects are then divided into attributes, which form the basis for a theory of human scaled streets. Attributes are mutually complementary and they interconnect the aspects. Macro-and micro-scale is further presented on comparative case studies of Central European cities Zagreb and Vienna. Conclusion is that through design and theory we can re-create human scaled streets and achieve urban and social sustainability.
