| Summary: | This research seeks to demystify the ambiguity surrounding key terms in urban design. These terms include sustainable, complete, livable, and humane streets. These concepts are key to improving citizens' satisfaction with their cities. They can also boost participation in urban development discussions. However, the literature and studies misuse these terms. This causes confusion about their meanings.
This study reviews relevant literature and research. It seeks to see if these terms reflect distinct ideas within a common framework. We will check these terms based on their criteria and uses.
The results show that these concepts are similar. They all aim to preserve the environment, improve transport, and boost city interactions. Nevertheless, each term has its advantages. Livable streets focus on comfort and well-being. Sustainable streets focus on the environment and protecting natural resources. Complete streets value diversity and many transport options. Humane streets aim to boost social cooperation and community prosperit
