The Street as an Extended Road Notion. The Architectural and Functional Significance of the Street as a Social Arena
Abstract
The main title of this thesis (“The Street as an Extended Road Notion”)reflects the assertion that the street is a different and far more versatile arena than in the case for the road, and that this fact has to be acknowledged. If the road is classified as a transport arena and a generator of urban form, the street has additional functions such as being:
• An element of urban form
• A commercial arena
• A cultural arena
• A social arena
