Generally speaking, street-based Urbanism considers the street to be a space where roads, public areas, and surrounding buildings are integrated. Street space is understood as the constituent unit of urban planning and design. Street-based Urbanism has become a global urban design trend, emphasizing the importance of street revitalization when engaging in urban regeneration and livable citymaking. The political trend of street revitalization also serves political focuses from vehicle-oriented streets to more pedestrian-oriented environments.
This political trend serves to change street space and other urban environments by encouraging their flexible utilization. General urban development and design trends be less likely to respond to the changes and movements of street spaces and their surrounding environments, due to rigid and irreversible designing characteristics. Urban planners and designers have endeavored to provide various alternative suggestions and proposals in response to the limitation of general urban development.
