Spatial design is a multi-dimensional volume that encompasses all life with its wide size and can define any open or closed area where individual or social life is staged. When considering large scale spatial design city examples we find that micro and macro spaces constitute every level of our daily life. The macro space covers all the living spaces of the socially used urban scale (all the open and closed spaces within the urban structure; public spaces and parks, all the structures that make up the city and the transportation network); on the other side, micro place includes spatial designs (indoor spaces and surroundings)used by individuals. In this study, Green public spaces, which are the elements of urban design in the macro plane, are considered as flat transport areas that allow experience, reproduction, potential to meet their demands, liberty and originality in terms of the relationship between the Social actor and the individual with the place. Inrealization of sustainable urban design, Designing the public places within natural environment by the green design and using them as cityparks will be discussed. Moreover, the spatial and social importance of designing public spaces in natural structural environment and using them as urban parks will be discussed in the study.
