Abstract: Abstract Urban revitalization is a response to the various expectations and dissatisfaction of people living in cities regarding the buildings they live in, the surrounding environment, or life activities. Public space, as an important component of the urban renewal system module, is an urban space where various activities and events are carried out, which can reflect people’s expectations of the city. This study draws on the evolution of city squares in Sydney, Australia, in different urban renewal contexts, aiming to analyze how their design has evolved to accommodate urban life and urban renewal. Methods of data collection and spatial analysis were used to examine the relationship between the physical characteristics of the square and people’s activities. The results of the research show that square designs should be human-oriented and meet the changing social, physical, and environmental needs to satisfy people and their future lifestyles.
