This article discusses the physical and spatial conditions of public space that allow integration and citizen gatherings, as regulated in Decree 1504 of 1998, which conceives of public space as an indicator of quality of urban life, which reflects the satisfaction of tangible needs and intangible assets of individuals from the use and enjoyment of their elements, considering the objective assessment of urban infrastructure from its classification, quantitative deficit measurement and determination of its distribution considering the pedestrian accessibility as a fundamental support in urban planning to incorporate spatial analysis as a tool for understanding spatial phenomena. The results concluded that in the city of Monteria, the quality of people's life is affected by the absence of physical and spatial conditions of public space to enable the development of activities for passive recreation, active recreation and citizen gatherings.
