Abstract : The concept of urban streets emerges as a fundamental thread, weaving through the fabric of neighborhoods and shaping daily routines. This research embarks on a journey to dissect the essence of approachable neighborhoods, delving into the intricate interplay between space and human needs within the urban landscape. By scrutinizing various cities, this study seeks to unravel the genesis of street-related issues, deciphering how the built environment influences daily activities and user perceptions. Drawing insights from a myriad of literature and case studies, the research delineates a multifaceted portrayal of neighborhoods, emphasizing parameters such as utility, safety, comfort, and allure. Ultimately, this thesis unveils the dynamic relationship between users and streets, advocating for the cultivation of user-friendly cities that cater to the diverse needs of their inhabitants.
