| The paper examines the critical factors influencing the success or failure of urban open space development in the context of Shebin El-Kom City, with a specific focus on the project of Šharaʿ Misr. It addresses the multifaceted aspects of community engagement, transparent governance, and sustainable practices as pivotal elements in preventing project failure and fostering urban development. The paper presents a comprehensive monitoring framework designed to guide alfresco dining space projects, emphasizing stakeholder involvement, accessibility, and inclusivity. Additionally, the framework covers services and utilities management, budget control, environmental sustainability, and adaptive management, all of which are vital for successful project implementation. It underscores the significance of continuous community engagement and feedback mechanisms to ensure alignment with the community's needs and expectations. The research findings offer valuable insights into the complex interplay between urban development, community sentiment, and effective project management, providing guidance for municipalities and urban planners seeking to transform public spaces into thriving, attractive, and functional environments. | ||
