| Abstract | ||||
| This paper aims at clarifying the differences between the concept of space and of place in urban field. The importance of this distinction stems from the common confusion in using and in mixing the meaning of both concepts in the literature. The research adopts an analytical theoretical review methodology to clarify the differences between the two concepts in different sciences. Moreover, studying the factors that form the places, would help understanding the differences in meaning between them in urban field. The research consists of three main parts. The first part discusses linguistically the space in various sciences. The second part deals with the concept of place, and its connotations in different fields of knowledge. Then, in the third part we would delineate the difference between the two concepts. The research comes up with a clear distinction of both concepts of space in the urban field, and presents them in a form of a comparative table. This comparison is based on differences among the two concepts in various aspects like in activities, in components, and even in meaning itself. It concludes with a discussion to their interplay in changing our urban environment over time. | ||||
