Abstract

The study traces the historical evolution of streets in urban fabric of different types and highlights the main types of streets. The study deals with the types of streets and identifies their problems. The principal factors, affecting the sustainability or resulting in its loss, are discovered in a special case. The impact of transport is considered as one of the criteria influencing street sustainability. The article reveals the results of the research of the dimensions of street sustainability and the red line, under which the integrity of space perception remains. Using street characteristics and problems, identified in the urban fabric of different types, we develop town-planning suggestions to support street sustainability development in modern cities. The study shows the types of urban fabric best suited for a modern city and capable of meeting the comfortable environment requirements in a greater degree. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
