This comprehensive literature review provides a thorough examination of assessment approaches for outdoor public spaces, emphasising their crucial role in enhancing sustainability and quality. By synthesising existing research, the review explores the diverse methodologies used to evaluate outdoor spaces and their integration with sustainable construction solutions. Relevant case studies and innovative approaches are presented to illustrate the potential for enhancing the environmental and social performance of public spaces. The review identifies opportunities for future research and practice through critical analysis and gap identification, accenting the need for a more integrated and holistic approach to assessment.
