Abstract
: The creation of a building for children is no longer just a shelter, but rather a spatial unit for 2020, a diverse and generally direct difference in building the child's personality, which limits the strengthening of control over the child on the one hand, and the direction in which he lives. It is a loud cry, one that is diverse: children have realized us, and the reference to the cry is that we find ourselves participating in dealing properly with children and also in society years later. It is believed that attention to children during the preschool stage significantly impacts their development in physical, mental, and social aspects. Comparative study of physical and mental social elements, meaning recording and monitoring the influence of specific proportions—an appropriate proportion between the child and the space—highlights the distinct, differentiated nature of the two research areas (child and urban perfection). While the framework and its urban product represent human activities of a material nature, the study of the child's environment and its non-material dimensions is based on a conscious and precise perception of the nature within which cultural and societal systems develop. This attempt aims to understand the dimensions between the child and experience, and the extent to which this influences the development of urban design standards. Therefore, the research emphasizes the importance of linking education and play together in creating and shaping a healthy environment for the child, as play is part of the child's dialogue with their own world, using all five senses to develop the concept of perception, whether through touch, smell, or taste. In addition to exploring two main axes, the first axis discusses the educational focus in the comprehensive stage, complementing the child's history and development in all its elements, both physical and mental, at its various stages. It emphasizes the focus on shaping the child's mentality as a whole, and sheds light on the fundamentals of play at each stage, as a basis for the educational, social, and therapeutic importance of play and its impact on the child's mentality. The second axis presents the role of innovative technology as a supportive environment in shaping the child's mentality and acquiring their imaginative abilities through the child's basic needs for various materials, their coordination, and their internal equipment, leading to the general conclusions and recommendations.
