Main Streets (High Streets)

Example 1: Main Street in a Town

See High Street, Oxford or Main Street, Galena

Main Streets or High Streets are typically the armature of a town or city plan, with shops and offices shared by adjacent neighborhoods and the larger community. They are found along the natural paths between everyday destinations. The details vary, but one thing is constant: a successful main street is a walkable, mixed-use place where people want to get out of their cars and explore.
