Evaluate how healthy public spaces are and detect what should be avoided or encouraged to generate an urban environment that protects health.

This is a flexible tool for use by designers of public space.

The questionnaire is organised around seven themes (determinants): environmental exposure, uses, community, comfort and aesthetics, access and connectivity, safety, maintenance, and health.

Once the questionnaire has been completed, some tables of results and spider diagrams are generated for each of the determinants.

Finally, a spider diagram is generated on a last page with the result and weighting of all the determinants.

The tool allows direct comparison between an existing space and the improvement proposals that are made in the project phase, so that comparative diagrams can be obtained, and the best decisions made to improve the public space so that it is healthier for citizens.

Applicability to different types of spaces, both pre- and post-intervention.

Possibility of evaluating an existing space or a project and comparing results.

This is a reflection tool; it does not provide quantitative results.

There are many differences between potential evaluable spaces, so the tool may not fit all those for which it is intended to be used.

The tool is not designed to compare spaces, but different states or possible scenarios in the same space.
