Even today we are faced with a social demand for safer urban spaces. Composition, functional features and management of such spaces are the prin- ciples behind a quality and, therefore, safe urban project. However, the orientation to safety and, therefore, to the prevention of those places requires great attention to the structure, organisation and methods of use. The “environmental design” is the perspective, and the application of UNI CEN/TS 14383-2:2023 goes in this di- rection. A useful tool for the project, this paper highlights the dual function of the Technical Specification, both as a ‘guide’ during the design phase, and as a tool for the ‘verification’ of the project’s final result.
