Why Street Corners Are So Important To Cities

Why Street Corners Are So Important To Cities Cities, centers for countless different groups and individuals to gather and live their lives. In the United States, the biggest cities stretch over 100 miles from each end, with suburban sprawl spreading the city out to massive degrees. This is what planning has shifted to since suburbanization started in the 1940s and 50s, with roads serving as the main navigation tool, getting wider and wider as they’ve become more and more important to cities. These roads have created something that most people don’t realize the impact of, and thats corners. You see corners everywhere, whether that be the main street corner or putting it in more of an architectural form, a building corner. These corners are very important. They can have impact on feelings and perception of the built environment, foot traffic, and walkability, and there also ends up being major economic impact. So today I wanted to explore that and what this really means for cities and how it can be used to planners' advantage.
