GMU:Urban Development Kit/Jordan Evolution in Public Squares

From Medien Wiki

A public squares or public space is a social space that is generally open and accessible to people used for community gatherings and it is one of the most important places that should be in the city where people will be able to gather, interact and do many activities such as sitting, playing, eating, singing, playing music etc…


My project about the urban development between the Arabian urban development ( Jordan ) and the urban development in European countries or the most advanced countries in terms of landscape and public spaces.


My idea is to design a space which is vibrant and enjoyed by people in Jordan because the public spaces is missing there and there is no place inside the city only for people without cars and the crowd of the city

I did some sketches to design in general the place or the shape of the public squares

After that I will design and create the elements needed by people in public Squares where people can be able to interact.
