Urban researchers have maintained a constant interest in the complexity and con-tinuity of urban space usage.Some have applied actor-network theory(ANT)to investigate the heterogeneity of spaces and present them through the networks of their users'activities.However, these accounts are predominantly limited in examining the extent to which these spaces may be heterogeneous when exploring such networks.This paper draws on recent ANT scholarship, which employs an ethnographic research conducted in a main park in a hous-ing project at Dahiyat Al Hussein in Amman, Jordan.The findings describe the complex and un-predictable negotiations that occur within spaces by documenting the varieties and interrelations among user activity networks within this common and shared urban space.This research reveals the extent to which spaces, parks in this case, may be heterogeneous by un-packing their usage.The conclusions and insights assert the necessity of paying attention to design detail and creating designs that are responsive to evolving user activities.
