Overview
Streets should be designed with the same level of interest as other important public spaces. This means paying close attention to materials and landscaping. There should be a variety of materials and textures to create interest and scale. The space of the street is defined by the buildings and landscapes along it and so the placement and character of these elements is an essential part of designing a beautiful street.
