Streetscape planning methodology and development scenarios. Terbatas street example in Riga

Urban streetscapes, particularly in historic centers with narrow, heavily trafficked streets, require innovative planning to balance safety, environmental accessibility, and cultural heritage while enhancing public comfort. A study on Terbatas Street in Riga's Historic Centre introduces a scenario-based methodology for evaluating design options that address these challenges. By engaging with city residents and non-governmental organizations, the approach allows for the assessment of multiple action plans, ensuring decisions align with both immediate needs and long-term urban development goals. The research validates key streetscape planning principles, offering practical guidance for landscape architecture in constrained outdoor spaces. This methodology was developed as part of a broader project aimed at improving public outdoor spaces and accessibility in Riga's historic center.
