In accordance with the principles of sustainable development, people have the right to live in a healthy, comfortable, and pleasant environment that is adapted to their needs. Not only urban planners, urban engineers, or developers, but the whole society are starting to deal with the issue of public space in cities more intensively. However, most of the discussions mainly concern the height and density of buildings within the city and do less about the resulting changes in urban space, which will affect the entire city and its parts. Spatial planning aims is to create such public spaces that are attractive and usable for all social groups, regardless of gender, age, social affiliation, culture, or religion, but also restrictions on mobility. Gender differences in perception are very often a neglected factor in the creation and shaping of public space, especially in small towns. In general, women are more sensitive to the quality of urban space. From previous surveys, it can be determined that women use public spaces more often than men, mainly due to the predominance of walking to work, accompanying children to school or extracurricular activities, to shopping, etc. The criteria for choosing public spaces for women range from the quality of the surface material of paved surfaces (allowing movement even in high heels) to the feeling of security in each place. The element of safety and the perceived personal feeling of security throughout the day is very important.
