The street network is the lifeblood of every city and the street is the basic unit of urban space through which people perceive the city. The design of streets can affect the quality of living in cities, and at the same time attract visitors. The city’s identity can be upgraded, brightened, or suitably supplemented by using color in urban design. We encounter color in urban planning in every design, but it is rarely highlighted as an element of spatial planning. It is most often used in temporary urban planning solutions, with which we can respond to the needs of society and the environment with minimal interventions in the space, and create realistic and permanent solutions. When using color in urban planning, we must take into account its impact on people and its primary communication, because only with the appropriate choice of color can we ensure the desired effect in the city.
The task with the use of color regulates the area of Barjanska cesta in Ljubljana, which represents part of the backbone of the city. It connects the old town center with one of the main city roads and unites the eastern and western areas along Barjanska cesta. It creates a hierarchy of colors with typical profiles of color strokes, which opens up different environments for the user and thus creates a unique experience.
