Elisabeth Hofstetter, Vienna University of Technology; The design of streets has a huge impact on our lives in cities. Streets are the public places in front of our doors, the places we enter nearly every day. How they are designed has an impact on our behaver; our mobility behaver, perception of security, life quality, the city climate and the quality of the air we breathe. The future design of streets will form the cities of the future.
The aim of my thesis is to analyse the Production of street spaces in Barcelona and to compare it to informations about Viennas streets to question, recognize and understand the characteristics of the street spaces within the different cities.
