Pedestrian zones are an important part of urban landscape. Better urban environment is crucial to better living standards. In 2019, the Russian Government allocated considerable budget for urban development in towns and historic settlements. Among other things, urban development efforts comprise the creation of pedestrian zones. Any such effort should be discussed comprehensively with respect to general city planning, neighborhoods, or even applicably to a precinct. This paper describes Voskresenskaya ulitsa in Kaluga as an example of a multifunctional themed pedestrian zone. What makes the street stand out is the abundance of federally protected architectural and cultural monuments. It is located in the downtown, and the surrounding architectures make it a tourist attraction. The paper analyzes a variety of functional layouts for the street. It further makes proposals on how to theme the street.
