ABSTRACT
From the very beginning the
street was and still is essential for moving, living and participating in city
life. At present we all struggle with communication, traffic and pollution. Now
the streets have a different image of their own structure where the car has
dominated its space. This research focuses on a bigger picture of the mobility
in the city of Wroclaw. Twelve streets including market squares and public
places were taken into consideration while providing necessary data for this
research. It is very clear that a need of a public space is necessary for a
quality of daily life. Also, considering a street as a part of this public
space is the main point of my research where I would like to prove that giving
the street its importance back, can greatly influence on the development of the
urbanized space at the city. I will concentrate on the parts of the city centre
of Wroclaw. The major question is how and if we can change and bring our
streets back to life. If we can change this we will be able to give our streets
deeper meaning in our lifestyle.
