Abstract:
Open spaces play a vital and effective role in cities and local communities, and streets are a major part of the city’s elements. They are considered to have multiple functions, where people gather for social communication and practice many activities, but unfortunately the role of the street has been neglected and became only for the movement of cars.
The research focuses and aims at (re-imagining the streets as a place for people and people’s ability to stay in it), studying people’s lives and how and when they use these places, and studying the activities that take place there. Rove.
The main research problem is the lack of quality of street design as a place for people to interact and activities overlap, and the lack of attention to the image of the place that attracts people, and the absence of criteria for evaluating the quality of the street as a place with the aim of urban upgrading.
The research methodology relied on the descriptive approach and used more than one method to collect data to identify its shortcomings by projecting everything that was dealt with in the theoretical study on the study area, and observation, literature review and place assessment tools were used, and Jan Gil used the observation (where - when - who - how) To evaluate a number of places. The information was collected by being on the site for different periods of the week.
One of the most prominent findings of the study is the absence of attractions from the place, losing it a comfortable visual vision, and forming in the viewer a feeling of depreciation of the place and thus the need to change it. That there is a clear separation of the different activities so that the place can be upgraded and placed in the focus of attention as well as restore a sense of belonging to the population
Finally, it was an attempt to come up with recommendations that would help in upgrading the area, the most important of which was to reconsider the prevailing urban laws with the aim of arriving at an idea that would help fulfill the requirements of the urban environment that would help elevate the place to become a place where people could occupy and interact. These improvements could transform Nile Street and make it an attractive, safe and accessible place for people. This will affect and raise the social, economic and cultural value of Nile Street and the surrounding areas, and involve users to ensure its continuity.
