This document provides an overview of strategies and best practice examples for improving urban life through public space programming and pedestrianization. It discusses approaches taken in New York City such as creating protected bike lanes, widening sidewalks, and implementing street closures to vehicles at certain times. International examples from Copenhagen, Barcelona and other cities are also presented, highlighting benefits like increased street life, economic activity, and environmental sustainability. The document advocates for diversity of uses, flexibility, human scale design, and community engagement to create vibrant, people-oriented public spaces.
