Abdel Sabour, E: Livable Urban Spaces

Ever since the beginning of modern civilization, the urbanization of public space has been a prevailing subject and a subject in constant state of mutation (Jacobo Krauel, 2007) . Besides the structures, buildings and dwellings that serve the full range of possible requirements. Cities as well as villages need streets, parks and plazas, in which the inhabitant can move, rest, play or get together. In fact, many urban theorists consider that the life quality of a city‘s inhabitants depends on the proportion of shared space available and how it is used? Today landscape means a great deal more than the visible features of a territory, and its definition has been extended precisely in order to provide the interaction between human activity and natural environment. Landscape factors such as physical, human, cultural, social, perceptive and economic element of landscape has now became part of the same notion. Currently, the landscape architect works with projects of environmental planning and large scale recovery projects for abandoned areas, the of public spaces and parks, as well as of private gardens, and land art and photography.
