Abstract

With the introduction of skateboarding in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, the influence of skateboarding in China improves constantly, and it has played a role in the transformation of Chinese streets. This essay analyzes the reasons of the different influences of Chinese and American skateboard culture on their respective streets, discusses the acceptance degree of Chinese streets to skateboard culture and the influence of skateboard culture on Chinese streets through questionnaire survey. Research shows that skateboard culture mainly plays a positive catalytic role in Chinese streets, which can make the streets younger, diversified and interesting. However, due to insufficient attention to skateboard culture, problems such as noise, rising pavement maintenance costs, personal safety hazards, and street shop conflicts appear. Taking into account the above problems, suggestions to further transform the street are proposed. In the future, it can also consider distinguishing the skateboarder and pedestrian flow lines and setting some transition space.
