ABSTRACT: In 21stcentury, media become the most
important factor affecting the development of urban cities, including public

places by media are essential to create more interactions between public spaces
and users, interaction media display, and urban screens, one of the most

pedestrians. This paper aims to identify the effects of these new digital
factors to transform public spaces, and the influences of large media display
on the interaction between urban spaces and pedestrians. The paper focuses on
Al-Thaqafa Street as one of the neglected spaces in Amman city, and attempts to
analyse this street, explains its problems, and studies the influence of these
new digital factors on its transformation, to be more active and vital by
pedestrians.
