These streets are often defined by their mixed adjacent land uses and urban location. They are characterised by their finer grain built form and the increased density of neighbouring land uses. They pass through the heart of urban communities, with public transport passing through and serving destinations beyond the centre itself. This diversity makes for an engaging environment, often with active retail, cafes and parks lining footpaths. It is important this typology supports a duality of functions through design by integrating amenity, safety and security for all road users, especially people who stay and walk. At the same time, these functions also need to be supported by a range of freight options.

In urban centres, road user space is often very constrained and needs to prioritise active and public transport and activities along the street.
