| dc.description.abstract | The project's purpose and scope Up to now the average age of a street was about 1000 years, while the usage of urban space is changing almost continuously. These changes affect in particularly a street's location, its capacity and its design. They influence the future physical structure of the street's immediate surroundings, i. e. its architectural form, the usage of land, the treatment of floor space, transformation processes in general and even the city's future form. During the last 40 years the various functions of streets in Norway have changed considerably. Due to an increase in urban population and car traffic the transport capacity of the urban street system had to change. The new turn towards upgrading of the urban main road system in the mid 80s, particularly through constructions of tunnels, has emphasised the importance of urban transformation through development of the street network. New streets that are intended to account for the city's increasing traffic, influence the use of space in the vicinity of newly established roads. These changes in turn affect urban transformation, changes in floor space and the global development (the concept used as Hillier) of the future city area. It will be particularly interesting to investigate the changing neighbourhood along a new road, especially at points where it crosses other roads in the urban grid. | |
