This was a very interesting article, I was fascinated by the idea of neighbourhood streets versus pedestrian friendly streets and while reading this article I learned about different ideas.In the modern world it is vital to consider neighbourhood streets and pedestrian friendly streets. Pedestrian space is a hot topic and reading this article has definitely broadened my horizons. I was very interested in the article on access spaces, residential spaces, compatible spaces, street interfaces and spatial organisation, all of which are design elements that make up a more pedestrian-friendly street. So, I did some research.
From traditional walking to the prevalence of the car and the return of modern urban pedestrianism, urban development has undergone a baptism of humanist thought and environmental awareness, and the humane demand to restore the open space of friendly pedestrian streets has grown stronger.
Firstly, 【1】an important component of a pedestrian street is the street environment; pedestrian behaviour is related to the pedestrian environment, with a good pedestrian environment stimulating a variety of travel behaviours and, conversely, limiting them. Different types of street can result in different amounts of time spent on the street by pedestrians. Pedestrian streets need to have a sense of safety, pedestrian flow and streetscape.【2】Planning strategies such as road section design and crossing layout differ for different pedestrian road classes. The Chicago project uses a ‘design tree’ to classify the different street types in relation to the area in which they are located and to provide a planning model for each type. Furthermore, the width of the street needs to be considered, as well as the proportion of the street width to the overall road width. It is not meaningful to study the width of a pedestrian street in isolation, but rather to match it to the width of the motorway in order to reflect whether the pedestrian street is built to be pedestrian friendly and whether it functions well.【3】The street surface is a reflection of the diversity of visual objects and streets. The richness of the street frontage has a positive impact on walking and enhances its interest, greenery, trees, seating, graffiti, are all part of the street interface.
