Abstract

Public spaces are the foundational elements of cities to create public life. Their usage character is changing currently as a result of emerging new trends in urban life. The public spaces in the inner city of Groningen are currently undergoing significant changes because of Binnenstad 050 projects. During the thesis, a single case study has been conducted to explore how these changes are influencing the local’s behavioural usage of these spaces. Behavioural usage has been identified as the collection of different types of activities performed on the street and was used to measure the interaction between the street and its users. Building upon the fundamental desires of people as guiding principles in public space design, the new Astraat, Brugstraat, Akwartier, Sint Jansstraat and Munnekeholm has been evaluated through a questionnaire, observations, and interviews.
