dc.description.abstract It has been observed that there is a noticeable change in the evolution of urban areas in contemporary urban design. Places all over are becoming similar, losing their significance in identity and their appearance. The quality and the meaning of spaces change with time acquiring new meanings or becoming functionally obsolete. Thus, there has been a decline of the public realm which is considered to be the most important social aspect of the urban context. Mobility and communication have increasingly dominated public space, which has consequently lost much of its cultural meaning and human. purpose.
