Abstract
Many current problems of the public spaces in cities are connected with ill decisions taken in the past 50-60 years. It is mostly connected with the rapid growth of the importance of cars in the 20th century. More and more cities in 50 through 70 invested vastly in road infrastructure, with a thought that private transport is the sign of lived in, energetic, fast growing city. These road developments often took space of historical parts of cities, not paying attention to tearing of urban tissue or newly formed problems for pedestrians. The project From Street to City by Thomas B. Thriges Gadein (Odense, Denmark) is a positive modern example of how the regeneration of historic urban tissue of the city is performed. Thomas B. Thriges Street, built between 1959 and 1970, was a four-lane street that allowed transit thorough the main part of the city. The main goal of the From Street to City project, designed in 2011-2012 by Henning Larsen Architects, is to connect the two parts of the old town with new public spaces and multifunctional buildings. In the paper, the project solutions and other actions of Odense municipality for creating a better, friendlier urban spaces will be shown. Moreover, the relation of Thomas B. Thriges From Street to City project to the idea of smart city is presented.
