Abstract
Convivial urban spaces are a process as well as a philosophy. They revolve around
observing users in specific urban spaces to comprehend their various needs,
especially their social needs. Designing urban spaces for people to promote social
connections is the foundation of creating convivial urban spaces. This means that
this form of urban space has been interpreted as a daily social activity and as social
pleasure expressed in the physical and psychological context of people's urban
space. To provide a convivial environment for all users, effective convivial urban
spaces should fulfill certain important aspects. From this point of view, the paper
aims to identify the main aspects of creating convivial urban spaces through their
repletion in the different theories. Then, the paper will evaluate and arrange the
importance of the different aspects that form convivial urban spaces from the users
and experts (urban designer and architects) point of view to reach the main
objective of the paper which is to create a prospected framework for the urban
designer and architects to help them in future decisions in designing convivial urban
spaces that fulfill users’ needs.
