Publication on objectively and subjectively child-friendly environments by David Hölzel
David Hölzel's dissertation in the journal ‘Cities’
A new article from David Hölzel’s dissertation has been published in the journal Cities. The study investigates the extent to which parents' perceptions of neighborhood child-friendliness align with the objective characteristics of the built environment. Using Dortmund as a case study, the research employs regression models to demonstrate that the correlation between the objective environment and parental perception is surprisingly weak. Additionally, the paper introduces a spatial typology of living environments that offers broad utility for future urban research.
