    ​Background Informatio  /  Xinmin Street, Changchun, Jilin province, China is the first “Chinese historical and cultural street”. It was the political center of the puppet palace, but also in the “central avenue” of political center. It was built in 1933, named “Shun Tian Da Jie” from the Bible. Then Kuomintang changed its name to “Civil Rights Street” in 1946, from Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s three principles of the people. After the founding of new China changed to Xinmin Street, and still in use. On both sides of the street, stands more than 10 historical buildings, preserved well. Changchun is the historical and cultural blocks

    The problem with Xinmin Street is lack of human interaction. The site is not inviting for pedestrians who travel through out the site. The sidewalks on the site are not catered for the pedestrian; they are over run with parked vehicles. 
    Forcing the pedestrians to walk around the vehicles and other obstructions. 
    There are some green spaces on the site, but seem to be very secluded and not engaging for the surrounding residents
