But for the past 27 years, there has been a obvious decrease of town-houses and gradually change to residential use from commercial one. The aim of this paper is to clarify the characteristics of this streetscape. We focus on front spaces of 109 buildings along the street. Through integrated analysis of the roof typology, the number of stories, and the open space along the street, these can be divided into five types.
