Wise, or familiar with, to the ways of living or spending time on the streets -- almost exlusively those of a large city.
By example, a person from a small mid-western town, may not know how to avoid being pickpocketed, where not to go in a city, or what vendors to avoid, etc like a person who grew up or spent alot of time in the city would.

Learning how to know your surroundings,and how to work or hustle different stages of life.so being street wise helps you to deal with life without the worry as far someone who is book wise,is not adapted with common life,just only what they know book wise,can't adjust to society.

it means that you are aware of the ways of the street, not a person who is easily persuaded into doing things they dont want to do. Someone who has common sense, another word for it is "street smarts"

when someone says you are "street smart" or "street wise" it means you are capable of everyday social and physical situations. you are able to handle yourself in the "human world" or the human social environment. it means to have knowledge of the world, and of human behavior and psychology.
as opposed to "book smart," which is having knowledge that would not be used on a day to day basis, such as knowing history, science and mathematics. book smart, is knowledge of academic subjects and trivial information.
