Evaluation of public spaces street activity for its sustainable planning and design

Abstract

In the context of rapid urbanization and increasing population density, the role of city streets as public spaces in cities is increasing. Street space activity is measured in terms of the number of functions it can offer users. The urban space of the streets plays the role of social services for the population, a linear element of the green frame of the city and a business center, which corresponds to the three aspects of sustainable urban development. Thus, the intensity of use of public spaces becomes an indicator that characterizes the sustainability of the development of the city as a whole. The article presents the results of a functional analysis using the methods of spatial analysis and field observations of public life, carried out on the streets of Moscow. Data processing using statistical methods will make it possible to distinguish three types of streets with different characteristics of the functional content.
