So gamified items can promote the depressed street to improve the quality of youth’s life and to reach a sustainable development of urban economic. This proposal treats the gamified street as the most effective way for meaningful youth facility and environment. The main goal of a gamified street is to encourage greater engagement in young people(player) and to make richer experiences through gamification. This paper propose a conceptual design of game street with five zones focusing on PangyoTechnovalley in Seongnam City. The gamified items for youth facility and environment on this game street derive from tens of gamification cases as pre-studies treated.
