Abstract

Trust be told that urban spaces have generated a lot of controversy in recent years. The major issues that I will address in this paper are transformations in the urban environment affected by different appearances due to economic and social changes that shape their meaning through human interactions for creating a social life. With the emergence of modern architecture and planning patterns, urban spaces have become the focus of researchers for study and analysis to determine the best destination.

This paper aims to present place-making as an approach to strengthening the perception of public urban spaces and, consequently, its impact on the quality of place.

The methodology of this study relied mainly on the descriptive and analytical methods of the available information on the city of Mansoura. Moreover, a comprehensive field survey uses quantitative and qualitative methods that depend on the case study method of observation (street video survey and photos) and a place checklist.

This research highlights the concepts of public urban spaces and place-making as formed by a conceptual framework that the research is based on. Additionally, the evaluation and study of the status quo for the case study specify positive and negative effects. In an attempt to answer whether place-making can contribute to improving the perception of urban spaces and their quality for individuals, this research focuses on the case study of public urban spaces in El-Gaish Street, “the spaces in front of the Governorate building and Mansoura's Stadium Zone, in front of the East Mansoura District.
