An Analytical Study for The Reflection of the Design and Co-Ordination of Urban Spaces to Improve Their Functional, Environmental and Aesthetic Performance. (Dept.A)

The elements of space design and coordination are the most important elements of attraction that give urban space a kind of excitement and distinction. Due to the neglect of urban spaces, the elements of designing and coordinating lost their importance in these spaces. Hence, the research problem is the lack of a clear conception of the role of elements of designing and coordinating of urban spaces to improve their functional and environmental performance and enrich their aesthetic aspects which led to the unwillingness of the city's residents to exploit these spaces. Therefore, the research aims to clarify the relationship between the elements of designing and coordinating the urban spaces and their functional, environmental, and aesthetic performance and improving the efficiency of the urban spaces, in order to be prepared to serve individuals and communities and to be a mirror that reflects the image of the city. Therefore, the research relied on the analytical approach through studying the theoretical framework of the research problem, based on studying and highlighting the importance, components, properties and classification of these spaces. Also, it relied studying the design systems of urban spaces and the contributed elements which improve functional, environmental and aesthetic performance, in addition to conducting a comparative analysis between the study cases, to measure the extent of applying what has been reached in the theoretical study in the study cases. Finally, it has been evident that there is no design of urban spaces based on engineering basis that follow the standards discussed in the research, and it lacks of the minimum and necessary physical components.
