The metro not only provides public transportation but also fosters interactions among citizens and contributes to the urban environment. Hence, attention to social interactions and spatial provisions to transform into urban spaces is crucial. The objective of this research is to establish a framework for achieving the quality of life in underground spaces that incorporates a comprehensive expression of placemaking. The research methodology is based on collecting and analyzing textual and documentary data, qualitatively focused on interpretive paradigms. This theoretical article aims to enhance a critical understanding of production and consumption processes within the urban public space. Findings indicate that urban underground spaces, to function as urban areas, need to offer a set of unique qualities aligned with citizens' needs as these spaces extend beyond the defined scope of urban areas. These urban spaces can be examined in the realms of lived space, perceived space, and conceived space by the citizens. In conclusion, in achieving a form of placemaking, the components of daily life, encompassing spatial behaviour, spatial representation, and representational space in alignment with the qualities of underground urban spaces, such as inner space qualities, inter-space qualities and extra-spatial qualities (legibility, inclusiveness, vitality, Accessibility, moderation, providing a variety of services and facilities), significantly shape the landscape of citizens' everyday lives. Identifying these qualities and the interactive dynamics between citizens' daily lives and urban space can lead to the creation of place and the process of placemaking.
