Pitt Street Mall (Sydney, Australia)

Transportation agencies and other departments
that impact how streets look and function—
which can include more than a dozen agencies
ranging from Planning to Parks & Recreation in a
typical city—have created a number of innovative
prgrams, standards, and policies to foster Streets
as Places. The best of these support community-led
visions and proactively engage resdents, businesses,
and local groups in the process of remaking streets.

While there are still barriers that exist in this are—
including the traditional mobility-focused missions
of transportation agencies, a lack of coordination
between the departments that impact and use the
right-of-way, and complex regulations and permiting
processes we’re living in exciting times— where the
role of streets is being rethought in communities
across the country.
