Abstract
This report seeks to create a catalog of urban design elements that can be used as a professional reference for practicing planners. It will use the Ramblas, a series of streets in Barcelona as the area of study to understand how urban design elements can be successful. The historical evolution of the streets and how they developed into what they are today is presented. It is not suggested that the Ramblas would be recreated in another context but instead elements would be understood for their value and use within their context. Those elements will be catalogued to create a set of best practices that can be taken and used for other contexts to create successful walkable places.
