The focus of this research is to further understand the issues surrounding urban design and planning of urban public open space in Addis Ababa, as Addis is one of the largest cities in Africa, with a huge concentration of people and resources, has suffered from many social and environmental problems. Among these problems, Shortage of quality & Standard public open spaces threaten the microclimate situations, health of the citizens and aesthetic quality of the city.

Finally, this research recommends Start Planning and Design of Built Environment (areas supposed for redevelopment /LDP/) with Public Open Spaces so as to have quanity, quality
