It reflects their identity and boosts their local sense of place. So, rethinking to integrate digital tools into the public urban spaces in Egypt will introduce new trends and innovative approaches in urban design, and it will enrich the design process. It has provided a new interactive experience in the urban environment.So, this paper studied the influence of the digital applications on the interactive experience to study their impact on the livability and vitality of urban spaces, in addition, to construct the design guidelines of digital interactive space. Thus, both the plaza of Arabian and Cairo Festival malls were selected as case studies to investigate the ability to accommodating of urban spaces in Egypt to the technological impact, by observing and determining the optimal places to integrate digital equipment and studying the correlation between the engagement within space and the criteria of vital urban spaces using SPSS.This study has proposed the framework to design the digital interactive urban spaces in Egypt, which is a means of making the interactive digital pattern an effective component in the urban design and has deducted the criteria to evaluate that spaces.
