The Vinnova project Värdeverktyg for street development has resulted in the Streetmeter tool that makes visible the social, economic, health and environmental functions of streets. The goal is to further improve the tool´s usability and dissemination by connecting Streetmeter to the Streetmix platform, conducting more tests in street projects, developing manuals and studying possibilities to develop the tool with AI technology.

The aim is to contribute to a system that provides more multi-functional, sustainable, healthy and lively streets. Expected results and effects: ** Denna text är maskinöversatt **

Streetmeter contributes to a new view of the street´s values and functions and can form a basis for a new Swedish street standard (VGU) and new municipal street policy where social, economic, health-related, environmental functions are prioritized in the design and planning of streets. Streetmeter makes visible how the street can be transformed from a place for cars to a place for people and how the design can contribute to social, economic and environmental values that create completely new opportunities for urban development.

Approach and implementation: Four work packages will be implemented in parallel 1.Connect Streetmeter to the Streetmix platform and achieve global diffusion and use 2.Use AI to automatically generate street designs and proposals for improvements. Develop a model for updating data. 3.Develop a model for application in early planning stages and implement more tests with municipalities

4. Produce a handbook and attend national and international conferences to introduce Streetmeter
