I fattori ambientali urbani e la salute pubblica urbana hanno una relazione di lunga data, tuttavia, il ruolo che lo spazio pubblico gioca in questa equazione è quello che vale la pena esplorare. La ricerca tende a utilizzare tre città scelte (Milano, Teheran e Berlino) come casi di studio per esaminare le interazioni tra persone e spazi pubblici e definire strategie su come rendere gli spazi pubblici accessibili, inclusivi, attraenti, sostenibili e sani. Per abbracciare la natura sociale di questo studio, si è deciso di utilizzare i questionari per ottenere dati realistici che sono collegati con la comunità locale in tutte e tre le città e raccogliere le loro preferenze e opinioni sugli spazi pubblici scelti. D'altra parte, è stato necessario convertire le analisi della vita pubblica e dello spazio pubblico (dai progettisti urbani o che stanno osservando e indagando), concetti e osservazioni in strumenti che potessero essere utilizzati in veri e propri progetti urbanistici. La tabella "Twelve Urban Quality Criteria" di Gehl è stata scelta per questo scopo considerando che, basata sugli studi più recenti in questo campo, potrebbe portare all'analisi più accurata possibile. Per confrontare, analizzare e spiegare i dati, questo studio ha cercato di mettere in un unico linguaggio comune tutte le informazioni provenienti dalla comunità locale, nonché l'osservazione e gli strumenti degli occhi degli specialisti. L'affollamento, la soddisfazione degli utenti, il tasso di ritorno dei visitatori e la durata di ogni visita potrebbero essere tra molti dei segni più evidenti, tuttavia, questo studio mostrerà i vari segni in ciascuna città (con cultura e background diversi), in diversi contesti/città. Quindi il risultato finale di questa analisi dovrebbe essere dati statistici o una valutazione, che ci consentirà di confrontare quantitativamente diverse aree. Inoltre ha dato la possibilità di eseguire un'analisi combinata utilizzando i risultati del questionario e la tabella di Gehl (DODICI CRITERI DI QUALITÀ -Come studiare la vita pubblica, Jan Gehl & Birgitte Svarre, 2013). Creando una base di conoscenza affidabile e acquisendo una comprensione più profonda di ogni spazio pubblico, sarà possibile rinnovare gli spazi pubblici esistenti in termini di architettura e riattivarli socialmente e funzionalmente per soddisfare al meglio le esigenze degli utenti. Ciò migliorerà la salute pubblica urbana urbana in generale e migliorerà la qualità degli spazi pubblici esistenti.

Abstract
The urban environmental factors and Urban Public Health have a long-standing relationship, however, the role that public space plays in this equation is the one that is worth exploring. The research tends to use three chosen cities (Milan, Tehran, and Berlin) as case studies to examine the interactions between people and public spaces, and And to define strategies on how to make public Spaces Accessible, Inclusive, Attractive, Sustainable and Healthy. To embrace the social nature of this study, it was decided to use questionnaires to reach realistic data that is connected with the local community in all three cities and gather their preferences and opinions about the chosen public spaces. On the other hand, It was necessary to convert the public life and public space analyses (from urban designers or who are observing and investigating), concepts and observations into tools that could be used in actual urban planning projects. Gehl’s “Twelve Urban Quality Criteria” table was chosen for this purpose considering that is based on the most recent studies in this field, it could lead to the most accurate analysis possible.In order to compare, analyze, and explain the data, this study attempted to put all the information from the local community, as well as observation and tools from specialists' eyes, into a single common language.
