Placemaking
What makes it a
Vibrant urban experience
People are willing to walk more if they are compensated by a safe and entertaining experience.
Social
When walking along the streets in the day, describe the human interaction next to the street
1) No activities, an uninspiring walk with. It is mostly consists of boring buildings and traffic
5) Bustling with people, street performers, interesting activities, people enjoying a picnic or having a game of chess.
Environmental
Are the street surroundings, interesting
5) Always something interesting to see like a boutique shop, street cart, street art or a food truck. Every now and then there's a nice bench to rest on, a restaurant or a cafe.
1) Streets are generally boring. Shops are closed, old or fenced off. Street activity mostly consists of construction or roads for traffic
Political
Within the study area, think about activities organised by different government bodies.
1) No street activities have been organised. Streets are unpleasent, too hot, uncomfortable and dis-interesting. Street activation is perhaps the lowest priority with no interesting shops.
5) Authorities allow street activities such as funfairs, performances, roadshows or pop up information booths. These events happen frequently. Street art, trees, street furniture and cafes make walking such a pleasant experience.

Comfort and connectivity
Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, where denser urban areas
are significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas
Street orientation and geometry, the use of different materials and the presence of landscape features are all factors that
heavily contribute to determine comfort.
Walking environments designed to accommodate robust vegetation and shaded canopies can reduce surface temperatures in the range of 9°F to 35°F and abate urban microclimate issues such as UHI. If greener sidewalks, roadways and public spaces were implemented on a
citywide scale, the possibilities for reduced
temperatures would grow exponentially.11
Environmental (weather):
It is raining extremely heavily. You walk 400 metres
(5 minutes) to the nearest bus stop. What proportion of my journey is sheltered by a structure? eg. roof or building
