Berney and Co-Authors Research the Benefits of Streateries in Seattle’s University District
CSDE Affiliate Rachel Berney (Urban Design & Planning) and co-authors published the results of a study of right-of-way adaptations in Seattle’s University District that supported urban resilience during the pandemic in the Journal of the American Planning Association. In response to COVID-19, cities permitted streateries (street eateries), which enabled restaurants to operate despite restrictions on indoor uses, and many persisted after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. Berney and co-authors modified and supplemented Seattle’s (WA) Public Life Study protocol to observe and analyze streatery and sidewalk use. Besides supporting business continuity in a major disruption, streateries and parklets increased low intensity social interactions, chance encounters, and diversity of activities in the ROW, outcomes that correlate with increased social resilience. As a result of this study, Seattle adopted chance encounters as a standard metric in its protocol.
