“…In this regard, public space is an important part of the urban fabric, and its quality affects the quality of life of residents and the attractiveness of the city as a whole, which is to some extent related to the quality of urban space (Sas-Bojarska and Rembeza 2016), which depends on various parameters analysed in this study. Assessing construction solutions for designing outdoor public spaces is important to define a model of support and appropriate guidelines to be adopted, which are mainly based on sustainability strategies, namely economic, environmental, and social, and that are aimed at designers and all those involved in the process (Jacquot et al 2021). The model presented is an added value in the assessment of outdoor public spaces, with a specific focus on streets, squares, and parks, through a consistent approach that overcomes the subjectivity in this type of studies.…”

The aim of the present study is the development of a model for the assessment of construction design solutions for outdoor public spaces, specifically for streets, squares, and parks, sustained by the analysis of the most important criteria in the urban space. Each of these criteria is divided into sub-criteria, that are very relevant in defining the rigour of the respective model, where materials and construction solutions play a very important role in the quality of a given outdoor public space and are decisive in obtaining a good classification. Through the approach of the assessment model, it is possible to define a matrix of relationships between the criteria and the sub-criteria of the analysis, allowing the perception of which sub-criteria have more influence in the assessment of the outdoor public space. The overall result of the assessment of a given outdoor public space is presented on a qualitative scale defined by quality levels, and improvements can be identified to move to a higher quality level.
