Assessing visual quality parameters in urban streetscape along transit corridors

Abstract

With the world’s rapid urban development, it has been observed that space for sociability has decreased. To overcome the impact of the same, streets should develop as an urban space along transit corridors. These spaces encourage meaning and identity creation by offering visual quality to everyone. This paper focuses on assessing parameters through which an urban streetscape along transit corridor can be analyzed to enhance visual quality. The authors suggest nine essential parameters based on literature review and expert interviews.
