Abstract
Development and urbanization of cities is important in a contemporary society, but, these developments and advancements also urban issues, like absence of open green space, traffic challenges, density problems, and even overpopulation. More so, the buildings that are there at times don’t have particular functions that are important because they were designed some time back. Thus it is important to consider mixed used buildings and plaza, which are regarded as unit space, are required to be considered for ‘publicity’ being a section of urban mechanisms of just like a broader spatial concept. The use of urban plaza is important as multiple operative facilities.

Generally, the term publicity was first coined in ancient Greek, as ‘agora’. Developing an open space in a city that is a plaza, was deemed as the best solution, which have been pursued by people as a way of improving their emotional safety and minimize deterioration of the our environment.
Moreover, it was developed by the need that it was capable of gathering people in one place and reflected political, cultural and social involvements. Developing space traffic, which has become a major issue in cities, is portrayed due to declining plaza space and making maximum use of the land, however, it denotes the need for vitalizing social space in cities. On top of all that, social and urban modernization has led to proliferation and accumulation of urban services that has caused increased urban population and densification of architecture. This has in return caused a decrease in streets and open spaces for the public. Urban plaza forms a significant part of open spaces in the city capable of making the social community life better.
The aim of the study is to evaluate publicity in towns as a strategic place that can help vitalize life in cities. It involves …Urban Connection

URBAN CONNECTION
Development and urbanization of cities is important in a contemporary society, but, these developments and advancements also urban issues, like absence of open green space, traffic challenges, density problems, and even overpopulation.
More so, the buildings that are there at times don’t have particular functions that are important because they were designed some time back. Thus it is important to consider buildings, pedestrian and plaza, which are regarded as unit space, are required to be considered for ‘publicity’ being a section of urban mechanisms of just like a broader spatial concept.

The aim of the study is to analyzing the connection between architectural open space, pedestrain and urban plaza and proposing methods that are suitable for developing a mixed use building that will help improve the relationship between the buildings and urban context. The study will help develop new strategies that will act as a solution for urban design that connect between the each part of the city.

Considering the large-scale shopping center in the neighborhood, we incorporated a multi-functional waterside sunshine lawn, which, together with lanes and leisure space dotted by sakura trees, creating a perfect place for shopping people to …Healthy, building inclusive, productive, and functional cities is maybe one of the biggest issue facing cities currently, and there lacks an easy solution to these challenges. However, one main problem within cities lies in public spaces. In order to attain all-inclusive urban plans that incorporate public space, people behaviors, and transport system in these areas, it is important to consider all the possible solutions available. Development and urbanization of cities is important in contemporary society, yet, the advancements are creating problems in these cities, like density problems, absence of open green areas, over population and traffic issues. Also, the available buildings are not fully providing particular functions that are required currently because they were build and designed long time ago. Hence, mixed buildings and plaza that are regarded as unit space, must be mentioned when referring to publicity, which is a component of urban components as a broad spatial notion. To be specific, mixed use structures as facilities for multiply functions are required for a specific study involving urban plaza and publicity. Hence, the aim of this study is to determine the theory of publicity in towns as a planned space that will help vitalize these cities. The study involves analyzing the connection between architectural design, urban plaza, and suggesting mixed use buildings design strategies that will enhance interactions between the buildings and urban context.
