As a foundation, a typology map was created to classify all street and square spaces according to their location, function, and spatial characteristics.<br><br>In addition, criteria were defined for assessing public spaces. This evaluation is conceived as a dynamic tool that adapts flexibly to the specific conditions of each context.<br><br>Using a detailed evaluation matrix, a profile was developed for each spatial typology. These profiles are represented graphically in \u201cspider diagrams\u201d and illustrated through axonometric drawings that serve as so-called \u201ctarget images.\u201d The diagrams weigh key categories such as urban identity, urban climate, quality of stay, maintenance and operations, investment, usability and access, permeability and connectivity, and the interface between public and private space. The resulting profiles offer a clear, comparable, and communicable depiction of each space\u2019s requirements and potentials.<br><br>The target images serve as design references, enabling future urban development projects to be aligned with the defined ideal profiles.<br><br>The goal is to provide a guiding framework that reflects the city\u2019s overall position on mobility, climate adaptation, spatial design, and land use. Based on this, different urban spaces can be more precisely articulated and strengthened within their urban context in terms of their spatial, ecological, and social effectiveness. Residential streets and neighborhood connectors, for instance &#8211; due to their high prevalence and low traffic volume &#8211; are particularly suited to contribute significantly to urban ecology and local climate and can be enhanced through targeted interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10763,"menu_order":50,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"project-type":[86,59],"project-tag":[87,91,88,283],"class_list":["post-10750","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-type-large-scale","project-type-public-space","project-tag-open-space-concept","project-tag-streetscape","project-tag-urban-development","project-tag-vulkan-urban"],"acf":{"featured":false,"hero_image":null,"home_order":0,"main_images":[10761,10751,10753,10755,10757,10759],"process_images":"","hover_image":10753,"hide":false},"translations":{"en":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/projects\/2560-design-guidelines-for-public-spaces-in-winterthur\/","de":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/projekte\/2560-oeffentlicher-raum-winterthur\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10750\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18047,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10750\/revisions\/18047"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10759"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10757"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10755"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10753"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10751"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10761"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-type?post=10750"},{"taxonomy":"project-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-tag?post=10750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
