An accurate diagnosis of the spatial quality of streets and the effective implementation of street renewal planning play important roles in the high-quality development of urban spatial environments. However, traditional planning design and study methods, typically based on questionnaires, interviews, and on-site research, are inefficient and make it difficult to objectively and comprehensively grasp the overall construction characteristics and problems of urban street space in a large area, thus making it challenging to meet the needs of practical planning. Therefore, based on street view images, this study combined machine learning with an artificial audit to put forward a methodological framework for diagnosing the quality issues of street space. The Gongshu District of Hangzhou, China, was selected as a case study, and the diagnosis of quality problems for streets at different grades was achieved. The diagnosis results showed the current situation and problems of the selected area. Simultaneously, a series of targeted strategies for street spatial update planning was proposed to solve these problems. This diagnostic method, based on a combination of subjective and objective approaches, can be conducive to the precise and comprehensive identification of urban public spatial problems, which is expected to become an effective tool to assist in urban renewal and other planning decisions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12010015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]],"date-time":"2023-01-09T02:31:30Z","timestamp":1673231490000},"page":"15","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Diagnosis and Planning Strategies for Quality of Urban Street Space Based on Street View Images"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jiwu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Urban Planning & Design, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"},{"name":"Center for Balance Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0173-800X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yali","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Urban Planning & Design, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]},{"given":"Wuxihong","family":"Duolihong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Urban Planning & Design, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2","article-title":"A Review of the Evolution of Shared (Street) Space Concepts in Urban Environments","volume":"34","author":"Auttapone","year":"2014","journal-title":"Transp.
