Streets, being the veins of urban life and the public spaces where society mingles, reflect the identity of the city. The role of streets in improving the quality of urban life is being discussed more and more as the challenges faced by cities are increasing. In this session, various city stakeholders will talk about the streets, which are the scene of daily encounters of urban residents from different social segments and various age groups, and will convey their knowledge and experiences through many examples from different parts of the world.
