Nowadays, comprehending urban spaces and the appropriate design of space is a way
toward meeting the diversified needs of each citizen. Among this, attention to the flexibility
principle as a dynamic of qualified urban space creation can facilitate spaces to provide
multiple opportunities for the general public. Accordingly, this study attempts to address
the concept of flexibility and realization of it in urban spacing. In order to achieve
flexibility in urban space, a new pattern is presented. It is notable that achieving the space
at first needs prerequisites including permeability, adaptability, legibility followed by body
requisites such as positive outdoor spaces, spaces with multimodal behavioural patterns,
multiuse buildings, active frontages and fine amenities. These include constructive
elements like activity, place and people. Through preparing such elements, flexibility can
emerge in urban spaces into three classes; versatility, convertibility and expansibility at
micro and macro scales.

Future perspective is illustrative of flexible and creative cities as economics, social, and cultural development contexts of societies, and urban spaces such as streets, parks, and squares are important sites to shape social, economic, and political activities (Collins, 2009: 517).

6. Accessibility to High-Quality Urban Space Similarly, Gehl (2004), Paumier (2004), Davise (2007), and Evans (2007) believe in seven qualities that can create urban space promotion and development including safety, comfort ability, inclusiveness, attractiveness, durability, good management, and flexibility.
4. Active Frontage Cooperation among buildings and public plazas are one of the most important issues that should be considered in flexible urban space, and this can be accomplished by semi-public plaza designing.
Parshall’s perspectives about the flexibility issue that is addressed in their book entitled ‘Problem Seeking, An Architectural Programming Primer’ which includes multifunction, convertibility indoor space, and expansibility to the outdoors (Pena & Parshall, 2012: 84).
Multifunction or performance versatility is considered as an important feature of flexible urban spaces which seek to create various selections in using spaces by citizens.
