Popis: Streets are an important part of a city. Streets provide city views and experiences for their users. Streetscape as a visual depiction of the urban environment can reflect the aesthetics of the urban area and improve urban visual quality. Streetscapes must be planned to provide spatial and visual comfort for pedestrians. Sustainable streetscapes can improve the quality of the environment by providing suitable paths for pedestrians and thus encouraging people to walk. Sustainable streetscape design is one of the determining factors for a city’s success. This research aims to analyze and produce sustainable streetscape designs based on functional aspects. This research uses qualitative methods with observational data collection. The functional aspects of the streetscape studied include pedestrian paths, building façades, street furniture, greenery, crossing paths, bicycle lanes, drainage, distance between buildings, and signage. The analysis was carried out descriptively. The research results show that sustainable streetscape design must be equipped with sidewalks, street furniture, greenery, lighting, bicycle lanes, interconnected sidewalks, a good drainage system, and signage arrangements.
