(CNN) --

When it comes to fashion, street style has as much cache as runway style.

In fact, there are dozens of blogs and Instagram accounts dedicated to capturing the best looks seen on the streets.

And it is that the "urban chic" style always arises from there, where people of all kinds of classes and origins can mingle on the way to work, school, home and places of leisure.

This year, Time Out, the media and hospitality brand that publishes local guides to some of the world's coolest cities, launched its second annual roundup of the world's coolest streets.

More than a neighborhood, a single street can define the culture of a city.

"In most parts of the world, pre-pandemic life is back with a bang. People are excitedly making plans and heading back to their cities and on city breaks," said James Manning, travel editor at Time Out, in a statement.

"Our list of the coolest streets in the world brings together the key thoroughfares that knowledgeable locals, including our expert editors and contributors, recommend riding right now."

This year's list has 33 streets, three more than in the first edition of 2021. It also includes several new cities, such as Taipei, Mumbai, Athens and Accra.

Asia and the Pacific

Five of the top 10 streets belong to this region.

Melbourne, Australia topped the 2021 list with Smith Street, but fell to second place this year.

The city's Gertrude Street made the list, with Time Out Australia's Eliza Campbell describing it as "beautiful, unassuming and devoid of the riotous nightlife of its more boisterous sisters by comparison".

Seventh place is taken by Tai Ping Shan, a neighborhood within a neighborhood on the main island of Hong Kong.

CNN digital producer Rhea Mogul, who lives down the street, says the best thing about living there is the dog-friendly cafes and the "great mix of old and new."

Tai Ping means "peace and stability" in Cantonese, while Shan means "hill".

A standout new addition for 2022 is Taipei's Yongkang Street, home to beloved craft beer makers Zhang Men Brewing.

"We integrated various resources to promote this neighborhood to international tourists, and we are very happy that it is on the list," Huang Shih-fang, director of the international affairs division of the Taiwan tourism board, tells CNN.

"We hope to attract tourists to the area once the border opens."

Karangahape Road, which the locals call "K-Road", in Auckland ranks sixth.

Europe

London-based Time Out has searched close to home for some of its picks this year.

The coolest street in the British capital in 2022 is Deptford High Street, a mix of street stalls, markets, shops, bars and more, which, according to Time Out editor Chris Waywell, is not only the coolest street in London, but the "liveliest".

Further north, Glasgow's Great Western Road is the UK's best gateway, at number three.

And the Danish metropolis of Copenhagen, which CNN Travel crowned "the new European capital of cool" last year, ranks fifth.

Værnedamsvej Street was dubbed a "mini Paris" by Time Out editors, due to its wine and cheese shops and abundance of fresh flowers.

That has to hurt Paris, who didn't actually make the list.

Other European streets that have received mentions in the 2022 list are Kolokotroni in Athens, Calle Echegaray in Madrid and Capel Street in Dublin.

Of the latter, Dublin travel writer Nicola Brady says Capel, which rhymes with "maple" in English, "feels like a real throwback to old Dublin."

Brady adds that the street, which became pedestrianized earlier this year, has "little hardware stores and pubs that have been there for decades along with great Korean and Vietnamese restaurants that are more recent."
