This thesis investigates how public spaces affect the mental and physical health of their users. Specifically, it focuses on four categories of users that are not considered taken into consideration as much as needed in the design the planning of public spaces. These categories are women, children, the disabled and the elderly. Public spaces are now constructed entirely commercially and with a middle-aged white well-to-do male as the design model. Therefore women, in the first place, do not usually find public places to rest and relax at any hour of the day without having a constant worry in their minds, whether they will be attacked by someone who may possibly be hiding behind the thickly-planted bushes and in the poorly-lit park. In addition, the public hygiene and baby care areas do not meet the needs of their daily life. Second, when it comes to children, the scale is changing, it gets smaller. But this is something that is not particularly taken into account in the design of playgrounds, or other public spaces that concern childhood. Rather we observe poorly made toys and benches which do not correspond to the scale of the children. In addition, the streets are not closed at certain times for public play. Which is quite problematic for children as there may be accidents with the long term effect of parents not encouraging them to go out and play with their friends as they consider public places to be dangerous. Thirdly, regarding the disabled, the lack of inclusive planning in public spaces, suitable for people with mobility, mental, audio-visual problems, is strongly observed. At the same time, one can also notice the lack of well-made sidewalks, and the tables from shops on public sidewalks which do not facilitate the passage of people with special needs. Fourth, elderly is literally the least included category in the design of public spaces, to the point of non-existence. There is no infrastructure in public spaces for activities of older people. Finally, in this thesis analyses successful, well-designed examples in public spaces for these four categories of people from European and other cities worldwide.
