Abstract

Egypt’s2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development included an emphasis on ensuring responsive, comprehensive, participatory, and representative decisions at all levels. It was noted that in the local context, there is no clear vision or mechanisms for the participatory process to support sustainable development through planning, designing, management, and maintenance of open urban projects such as public parks.
Therefore, the research conducted a theoretical study to identify the concept of community participation and to clarify the psychological, functional, social, and economic aims of participation process.
The research dealt with an analytical study of some urban spaces in the global context, which dealt with the concept of participation in the designing process, to identify the principles on which participatory successful urban spaces were based.
The results of those studies were applied to the case study (the general corniche of Minya city) to reach the upgrading of the concept of architectural design through activating society participation that can be used in the design, rehabilitation, and management of urban spaces, to contribute improving its efficiency and overcoming its shortcomings.
Where society participation was activated by applying community participation mechanisms and effective participation parties, that showed according to the ward and Russell Impact Scale that most users spend happy times and are emotionally attached to the park.
