Public space site-specific assessment

The Public Space Site-specific Assessment consists of a series of activities and tools to understand the quality of public spaces and influence, through a participatory process, the design of the site. The assessment focuses on a selected open public space1 and its five (5) minute walking radius (equivalent to 400-meter distance) hereafter referred to as the ‘walkable radius2’. The guideline supports the user3 on how to gather the right data and what information is needed to make public spaces safer, more inclusive and easily accessible by proposing innovative design and planning solutions.
