Urban space can be viewed as a dynamic system of interconnections, a complex system of flows and actions. The city is genuinely heterogeneous, conflicting, and ambiguous. In this context, hybridity characterizes differences for various elements within the city to produce a ground for the process of ever-lasting progression to assemble further interactions, and interweave programs as a systemic organization. As a result, it creates an ecology that is an extensive and inclusive ground plane that organizes and supports the land activities to maximize its use and be resilient to newly invented programs and events. Consequently, hybrid urban grounds and buildings are inherently multi-functional, producing complex relationships with their program, context, and society. Especially within the hybrid system, the integration of living, working, circulating, and recreation gains importance. Also, hybridity can be seen as a concept that acts as an in-between design strategy that can both respond to the requirements of the real estate market and serve urban benefit. Considering most of the current urban environment’s conditions, hybridity offers an alternative way of space-making.
