Abstract

Since Lviv is a popular tourist destination, a major IT center, and a temporary residence for refugees from the eastern part of the state during the war, its role attracts people, and an active modern lifestyle can come in conflict with the restrictions of the preservation of the city's historical heritage. Therefore, the modern state of the city's historical core needs to be evaluated and compared to its past state. This research evaluates spatial metamorphosis by analyzing the old to modern city shift. Svobody Avenue, Lviv’s main street, was chosen to represent the area of analysis. Evaluation of Svobody Avenue was done by the quality criteria of public space, types of subspaces, and spatial problems of the current state of the avenue. The quality criteria were chosen liveliness, identity, comfort, and functionality, subspaces were based on Carmona’s classification, and a systematization of the problems as the outcome of transformation is presented in the end. This work's primary value is considering transformation as a comprehensive process from different angles, which gives a complete picture of the change in the city's main street.
