Abstract
The road networks are crucial for the understanding of human flow through the cities. This paper analyses the district Västerbro in Lund, Swedens potential social sustainability in connection with its planned street network. The social sustainability in the paper focuses on meeting places such squares in the city. The main question is: What impact can Västerbro's road network have on pedestrians and the area's future social functionality? It can be broken into two questions: What does the structure and design of the road network look like in Västerbro now and in the future, and how does this affect pedestrians' flow in the room? and What opportunities are there for meetings and local city centres in the district? These questions will be... (More)
The road networks are crucial for the understanding of human flow through the cities.

The social sustainability in the paper focuses on meeting places such squares in the city. The main question is: What impact can Västerbro's road network have on pedestrians and the area's future social functionality? It can be broken into two questions: What does the structure and design of the road network look like in Västerbro now and in the future, and how does this affect pedestrians' flow in the room? and What opportunities are there for meetings and local city centres in the district? These questions will be answered through two space syntax analysis, an observation and a desktop analysis. The results of the study are thereafter discussed through a social sustainability lens concluding that by the intersection of Öresundsvägen and Bryggaregatan has the highest potential for a successful meeting space.
