streetscape design
Public realm shaping
Streetscape design is the planning and arrangement of visual and functional elements along a street or public way.
This includes sidewalks, lighting, benches, plantings, signage, and building facades—everything that shapes how a street looks and feels to pedestrians.
The city hired consultants to improve streetscape design downtown.
Urban planners use the term when discussing walkability, aesthetics, and the relationship between buildings and public space.
