Abstract
Abstract In order to develop the quality of urban spaces, street furniture seems to be the significant element that defines the city’s social attraction points. It stimulates outdoor spaces because of its location, buildings and sidewalk meet. This study explores the issues of design criteria that introduce sustainability into street furniture design in urban public space in Tunisia. This research is based on the role of street furniture and its importance in urban public spaces, and the possibility of supplementing a recycling design. This paper aims to explore the necessary criteria to design sustainable street furniture in order to present its importance in a way that helps to ameliorate the quality of living in urban areas and cities.

Summary
Because of the lack of implementation of sustainable criteria, the existing street furniture design affects the country’s development, especially in urbanized Tunisian areas. In order to preserve liveable environments, a recycling criterion seems to be important to make urban public spaces more attractive and meaningful. Many requirements need to be taken into consideration while designing street furniture: public space and activity appropriation, accessibility, safety, comfort, aesthetic, design quality to enhance the urban design image [1]. The second part of the paper intends to explore the different possibilities in adopting recycling design in Tunisia urban spaces [2]. It is hoped that this study could contribute to creating awareness on the importance of integrating street furniture in public urban spaces towards the enhancing of living quality in the urban areas
