Offices and workshops: work spaces with windows and entrances from street will create long periods of activity during the day. Entrances should always be taken from the public realm.
Cafes, restaurants and bars: will create activity during the evening time. Outdoor seating and large windows can deliver activity to enliven streets when permissible.
