Abstract

Street plays an important role in the built environment as it is the main spine for activities, movements, and social interactions in every city that affects the people''s quality of life (QoL). Recently the quality of urban life (QoUL) becomes a concept that has been discussed in various studies as a response to many problems facing the city streets. However, most streets are designed now for vehicle movements rather than for all users' needs and values. In this context, the research aims to activate the street''s role that achieves the quality of urban life (QoUL) for all users through focusing on the review of the trends and the approaches of urban design and the displays of the quality of urban life definitions and its indicators. To these ends, the research sets a proposed list of urban quality indicators as a guideline framework to assess street performance. Therefore, in the analytical study, the research chooses one street in Egypt then applies the proposed quality indicators framework to assess the street quality. The research concludes the important role of the indicators of the urban quality of life: social, physical, environmental, economic, visual, and management indicators to achieve the street quality.
