What are the main influencing factors for active frontages in high-density cities?
We know that urban design qualities of designing active frontages can be the following:
Physical Features
comfort and convenience,
safety and security,
accessibility and communications etc.
Aesthetic Features
order and unity,
colour,
texture and materials,
spatial hierarchy and sequence,
human scale and enclosure etc.
Can we add more features? Please suggest.
Land use in frontage is critical. This is called "planning" and not "design". Rest of the factors change continuously and are therefore not critical.
There can be scope for an 'Escape route' as an alternate and safe route to exit from the area in case of emergency situation.
Atul, this is not critical. More important is size, volume of space, underground ability parking, storing, access to further shopping and relating to whole area.
