streetscaping
Public road design
Streetscaping is the design and improvement of streets as public spaces—installing trees, benches, lighting, planters, and decorative paving to make urban areas more attractive and walkable.
The term emphasizes streets as environments for people, not just vehicles: The city invested in streetscaping along the downtown corridor.
Also used as a verb: They're streetscaping the main avenue this summer.
