Abstract
In its broadest definition, urban space can be considered as a mass of buildings physically connected with infrastructure and spaces (cities). Functionally, it serves as a platform shaped by economic, social, cultural, and environmental processes. In this context, it becomes possible to establish a relationship between "Meaning" and "Outcome." In shaping urban space, "Meaning" can represent the physical city, while "Outcome" can represent the functional city. This study will examine the role of shaping in transforming urban spaces, focusing on its effectiveness in creating meaningful (legible), livable, and memorable places. The concepts of urban space, urban design, and urban form will be explained, and the role of shaping in transforming urban space will be discussed in a comparative manner, considering multiple perspectives with differing views.
