In addition, it must be taken into account that these public spaces are the reflection of the cultural identity of the place where they are implanted, the sense of belonging and appropriation must be increased to reduce insecurity and abandonment, putting aside the misconception that public space is just a residual green area within the city. Therefore, when strategies based on a methodology of sustainability indicators are implemented in conjunction with the characteristics of the place, it is shown that it is possible to design a public space with better quality indexes (living spaces with environmental, economic and socially effective conditions) within the city of Santiago de Cali.
