| Abstract | Abstract : The multisensorial experience of urban space is presented in this study as a theoretical paradigm within urban planning and design that connects perceptions of the urban environment with social interaction. The purpose is to examine how different senses perceive urban environments, such as Bahrain's streets, and which multi-sensory sensations enhance social interaction. The case studies conducted within this research (Manama, Muharraq, and Riffa) indicate a multi-sensory perception of streets and a vision dominance. Observations and interviews conducted in three case studies in Bahrain demonstrate that integrating multiple sensory inputs and small businesses on the ground floors produces a dynamic environment that encourages social interaction even though vision dominates perception, this study advocates for a multi-sensory approach to urban planning and design that includes smelling, touching, and hearing to create lively cities by strengthening the social function of streets by creating urban environments that encourage social interaction in the streets of Bahrain. | |
