Abstract
Due to the rapid urbanization, many cities around the globe experienced rapid growth, consequently, a lot of neglected open space and vacant land emerge in those cities’ structures. These Nos represent vital assets that can contribute to enhancing the city’s identity, and function. To develop these neglected open spaces, several dimensions should be addressed such as social, functional, visual, and temporal dimensions. In this paper, the author will focus on the social dimension of urban design as a tool to develop NOS. In this sense, this paper will start by giving an introduction about neglected open spaces, their characteristics, and types followed that presenting some theories and approaches to develop these spaces socially and concluding with a social framework to develop these spaces.
