For economic expansion, investment is an important aspect which depends on mobility, safety and attractiveness, this together makes the cycle of public space.  Public spaces provide important benefits to businesses in formal and informal ways. 

Another attribute of public spaces is that they help reduce traffic and congestion when having to move from one place to another, it also reduce the risk of accidents as it offers different options to move. When public spaces are built, they prioritize routes where walking and cycling is possible. One of its fundamental functions or characteristics is that it allows people to move around and to access different areas by foot, bicycle, car, motorbike, public transport, among others.

Also, “The quality of public spaces can improve people’s health by providing opportunities for physical activity and play, making walking more attractive, reducing stress and providing a calming environment. Access to a good-quality, well-maintained network of public spaces can help to improve physical and mental health by encouraging people to walk more, to play, or simply enjoy the environment.” (Garau, 2015)

In addition to this last two paragraphs, it is important to mention that as public spaces are busy and always with life, they make it more comfortable, reducing the insecurity on the people being there. Another important aspect next to security, is the inclusion topic. Social relations in public spaces make it possible for a diversity of groups to use the streets and public spaces, which reflects on the city class, gender, age, race, and ethnic differences.
