The diversity of public typology used to stand for the different public requests and functional uses, the buildings' component designs in different scales along with the opposite space using, all of the components are used to aggregate the city by the space data computation. There are 4 different combinations of public space used to enhance urban value which is "Innovation lab", "Just do it", "Embracing consumption" and "Resisting homogenization".
