Street interface means the relationship between a building or development and the street beside it. It includes how buildings, entrances, landscaping, and other features shape the edge of public spaces and influence how people move, interact, socialise, and use the street. A well-designed street interface helps create attractive, active, and comfortable streets for pedestrians and the wider community.
