Urban spaces are an important component in any urban fabric, in order to embrace the various activities of the population in general and the activities of children in particular, where the child discovers the world around him, learns and acquires a lot of experiences and be learned and acquired through his experiences gained through interaction with what surrounds him in the environment external. It was noticed that the design considerations appropriate to children's activities in the external environment in the residential areas were not clear, which led to the transformation of these spaces into wasted spaces that are not suitable for the needs of society. Therefore, the research paper aimed to study the concepts and theories related to the aspects of children's development and monitoring their needs, in addition to classifying the urban spaces in residential areas. The research paper also includes a study of urban spaces in some Western societies with the aim of benefiting from Western experiences, evaluating these experiences, and adding their outputs to the research results through the design criteria that were devised, and then applying the outputs to a space in the Fifth Settlement as a new city, in order to monitor the deficiencies in the design elements of spaces.
