| Abstract | What is the relationship between urban form and citizens well-being? In this paper, we propose a quantitative approach to help answer this question, inspired by theories developed within the fields of architecture and population health. The method extracts a rich set of metrics of urban form and well-being from openly accessible datasets. Using linear regression analysis, we identify a model which can explain 30% of the variance of well-being when applied to Greater London, UK. Outcomes of this research can inform the discussion on how to design cities which foster the wellbeing of their residents. © 2016 ACM. |
City form and well-being: What makes London neighborhoods good places to live?. Method and outcome can help urban planners and administrators in shaping cities which foster the well-being of their residents. DATASETS To carry out this work we had to access datasets with the following information: conguration of the urban environment age of the housing stock and well-being scores for Greater London. By looking at signs and strengths of coecients we suggest that the typical London neighborhood with good levels of well-being has the following characteristics: it is well-connected and easily accessible it is characterized by green areas and predominance of historic properties its street network is dense and tends to be grid-shaped. This study in fact does not clarify whether specic urban features attract people with higher well-being or whether the arrival or presence of residents with more wellness attract certain features of the built environment.
