Remember how the kanji could also mean city? Well, that's what the vocab means too: the city.
街 refers to the general idea of an urban area, rather than a city as an official administrative unit. Compared to 町, it suggests a bigger scale and a busier, more urban feel — places with shops, streets, and activity, like a にぎやかな街 (lively city) or 東京の街を歩く (walk the city streets of Tokyo).
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it's going to use the kun'yomi reading, which you haven't learned yet. Lucky for you, 街 uses the same reading as another word you know for a place where people live: 町 (まち). Whether you're in a rural town or in the heart of the city, there's only one reading you need to remember. Pretty convenient, right?
