Abstract The Purpose of this research is to analyze by the 'Complete Streets' policy of America in order to elicit its implications and thus to help improve the street management system in Korea. This study analyzed the complete streets policies of Boston, San Francisco, New York City and Philadelphia as a case study. These cases are chosen, mainly because the four cities have holistic street management systems. The findings are as follows: (1) Based on complete streets policies and laws, each city has just one design guideline to control streets. (2) All the related agencies, experts, and communities participated in the development of the 'complete streets design guideline'. (3) The design guideline aims to encourage a high-quality pedestrian environment by both minimum standards and optimal standards. Also it considers several multiple aspects including safety, aesthetics, a sense of place, sustainability etc.
