Proposals for improving the street space of Tianhe Nanyi Road and Tianhe Nan Pedestrian Street in the context of a complete street background

Tianhe Nanyi Road is the dividing road between the three commercial complexes of "Tee MAll, Parc Central and Zhengjia Plaza " and the Liuyun residential area in the middle of the urban axis of Guangzhou's Zhujiang New Town. Based on modern urban planning concepts, these three commercial complexes are inward and closed commercial spaces, surrounded by traffic-oriented roads. However, due to the huge influx of people brought by the commercial complexes, the interface between the Liuyun residential area and the neighboring commercial buildings has gradually evolved into commercial shops, resulting in the current mixed state of traffic and commerce. The Liuyun residential area is located between the Tianhe business circle and the underground commercial space of the Zhujiang New Town Flower City Plaza. In order to strengthen commercial connectivity and connect the central axis, a commercial pedestrian street has been opened up. The "T"-shaped street formed by Tianhe Nanyi Road and the Liuyun central axis pedestrian street is one of the most important public open spaces in the Guangzhou urban axis. However, the planning goals and actual usage of this area are mismatched, with mixed pedestrian and vehicular traffic, inconsistent functions and forms, and space usage and forms that do not match their location and urban image, urgently requiring transformation and improvement. Therefore, this paper selects this space area with mismatched functions and forms as the research object, adopts an inclusive design concept and a complete street design concept, and combines the experience of relevant excellent cases at home and abroad to propose conceptual updated transformation design, attempting to explore the prospective application of the "complete street" design concept and method, and propose transformation suggestions in the form of design proposals. This study is guided by the "complete street" design concept, positioning Tianhe South Road as a plaza-style mixed-use street. Based on this goal, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were used to evaluate the site. Through research and analysis of the complete street design concept and real-world examples, this study proposes suggestions and specific design improvements for the street space of Tianhe South Road and the Tianhe South Pedestrian Street. The text is divided into six chapters. The first and second chapters are the Introduction and Literature Review, respectively. The third chapter focuses on case studies of street space transformation under the concept of complete streets, summarizing three cases of complete street transformations to provide references for street space renewal design. The fourth chapter presents recommendations for street space renewal in the context of complete streets, including elements of complete street design and proposes four specific strategies for street space renewal.Chapter five analyzes the site of Tianhe South Road and Tianhe South Pedestrian Street under the complete street concept, using the AHP hierarchical analysis method and questionnaire surveys to conduct quantitative and qualitative research on the street space. Chapter six proposes design improvements for the street space of Tianhe South Road and Tianhe South Pedestrian Street under the complete street concept from four aspects: slow movement space, vehicle movement space, landscape and greenery, and street facilities.
