This article seeks to evaluate the social and cultural impacts of constructing a book parklet as a small, adaptable urban space on Fakhr Razi Street. Quantitative data was gathered through a structured survey utilizing a researcher-designed questionnaire. The target population comprised pedestrians who frequented the area, with a random sample of 200 respondents selected for participation. Additionally, qualitative thematic analysis was conducted to provide further insights. The findings reveal both positive and negative effects of the parklet's development. Positively, the project facilitated the creation of a public space, particularly benefiting marginalized or "silent" groups, while fostering social ties, collaborative actions, and strengthening neighborhood and regional identity. It also enhanced community participation, a sense of belonging, and boosted nearby businesses. However, the study also highlighted challenges, such as increased traffic congestion and conflicts with local businesses, as well as instances of vandalism. These outcomes underscore the complexity of such urban interventions in balancing community benefits with unintended consequences.
