A city is the result of historical and natural evolution of human communities. Following the rapid developments of modern times, entering transition step, and changing living styles from traditional to modern that result in new form of social and economic relations in society and changing cities totally; there were parts of urban context, specially historical and central core of cities context, that failed to match with the ongoing changes and because of physical- operational mismatch with new conditions their inhabitant became unkind to them and so consequently and following the lack of necessary infrastructures forecast for joining to the dynamic and integrated urban body they made current worn-out urban parts known as urban voids. One of the most important challenges now a days is about the historical context is dealing with their physical depletion and adopting intervention methods that this part has experienced different methods according to space and time from past to now. For increasing historical context coordination with modern times, one of the protective restoration intervention methods that attracted the attention of many urban planners is urban regeneration. Urban regeneration has different aspects and has changed and evolved over the time. One of the most important aspects is regeneration based on somatic regeneration, which emphasizes the importance of sensory experiences and bodily engagement in the design and activation of urban spaces. Urban Voids have huge capability of improving the place and creating a stronger urban fabric of the city. Reclaiming the dead spaces by intervening could solve the perception of these spaces and thereby create better public spaces by increasing the imageability and comfort. These spaces can be seen as great potential in this expensive world and can be utilized as urban public spaces such as public gathering spaces, pocket parks or plazas or just place for activities which make people get engaged and enhance the public domain. The research tries to explain the protective and restoration intervention methods, documents and resolutions related to them, urban regeneration procedure, principles and general strategies of regeneration, and finally emphasis on somatic regeneration as an effective approach, and present overall solution and analyse examples of this intervention recipients.
