| Abstract | ||
| Urban spaces designated for practicing activities for children play a major role in shaping the child’s personality in the early stages of his life, especially early childhood, and contribute greatly to achieving a major part of the child’s skills. Good design and coordination of urban spaces aims primarily to improve the function of urban spaces. The main ones, which contribute to developing the child’s targeted skills from these fields. The main research problem is the weak clarity of the relationship between interactive elements for children in early childhood and the skills intended to be imparted to the child within these spaces, for this age stage. This research paper aims to how to use interactive design elements to support the function of urban spaces for children, using the descriptive approach in describing skills. The basic principles desired for urban spaces, then the descriptive analytical approach in identifying and describing the elements and interactive methods that can be used within those spaces, then the deductive approach to deduce the relationship between the child’s targeted skills in urban spaces and the proposed interactive methods. Accordingly, the result of this research paper is that the child’s interactive methods are divided into three sections, including physical interaction, and the determinants of urban space, such as walls, furniture, and floors, can be exploited to support the child’s skills. It was also established that there is a relationship between children’s skills and interactive material methods for developing the built environment for children’s spaces.
