This publication was created to draw attention to the aspect of shaping modern streets even before the process of their renewal. The authors encourage a thoughtful look at streets and their role in city life. The book is aimed at officials, urban planners, architects, designers, scientists, but also representatives of non-governmental organizations and the residents themselves who are involved in the renewal process of urban streets.

The aim of the publication is to contribute to the co-creation of better functioning, accessible and safe streets, which can be an important public space in the city offering many opportunities to its users, but most importantly tailored to local needs. The authors analyze daily situations on the streets, trying to understand what is happening on them and whether there is any regularity. They ask whether the streets need stimulation to life, or whether, on the contrary, they require nurturing the existing relationship.

This book is a collection of thoughts and analyzes on the role of streets in our society. The authors, based on examples from various cities, show how streets can affect the quality of life of residents and how important it is that they are accessible to everyone. This publication is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how to shape urban space in a responsible and sustainable way.
