New Urban Adapter — Multi-layered Boulevard

Abstract

The concept of the boulevard is of a hybrid road, which includes transport links and greenbelt open spaces. This type of street, found across wide scales, usually links a city’s landmarks or significant open spaces. This essay discusses the rise, development, and decline of the boulevard, as well as the types found during different historic periods, and will use the case of Tainan Hai-An to illustrate the significance of the multi-layered boulevard as an emerging type of street space for urban development.
