Madrid: The role of public spaces is key to the quality of urban life, Spanish urbanist Guardiola Garca said in an interview with AZERTAC.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, the presence of public and open spaces in a city is essential for all groups of the population - families, couples, and children - as such areas provide opportunities for rest, leisure, and social interaction.
He emphasized that the urban environment should not be fully privatized, and that it is important to maintain a balance between private territories and public spaces. In his view, the presence of green and open areas makes cities more comfortable and livable.
Guardiola Garca noted that accessible public spaces allow people to spend time freely, relax, and enjoy the urban environment, which directly improves the overall quality of life in cities.
