Abstract
The authors’ intention has been to present several streets famous for being remarkable phenomena in the history of town planning and architecture. Each of them is a sum of separate buildings, sometimes outstanding but, more often than not, just elements of a bigger whole. Thorough investigations reveal the history of many particular places, their origins and individual fortunes. And yet, it is hard to decide if it is the dominant architecture of one object or a uniform style of more buildings creating frontages that matter more for the perception of an urban interior. These streets - as cultural and historical landmarks - add to a city’s sense of place, history and identity.
