Quantifying the impact of urban physical provisioning systems and environmental attributes on subjective wellbeing
Quantitatively understanding how physical provisioning systems (energy, mobility, shelter, water, waste management, greenery) and environmental conditions (pollution, noise, extreme heat) shape subjective well-being (SWB) is central to decoupling human well-being from natural resource use, especially in urban areas where most of the world’s population resides. Yet, large-N urban surveys that measure both evaluative and emotional SWB and methods t…
Do larger homes improve human well-being? Insights from India and U.S. cities
Unpacking the Association of Multiple Urban Infrastructures with Subjective Well-Being
Planners seek to understand how physical infrastructure and social provisioning systems shape subjective well-being (SWB) of urban residents. However, unpacking this relationship has been challenging due to complex social, ecological, and infrastructural linkages, and the use of different measures of well-being across diverse studies. In this paper, for the first time, we compare three measures of evaluative and emotional SWB employing a consiste…
Comparing happiness associated with household and community gardening
Municipal food action planning promotes local food production based on presumed environmental, health, equity, and well-being benefits. However, little is known about the well-being benefits of household versus community-scale agricultural gardening. This exploratory study in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, USA, presents a first direct comparison of happiness (net affect, average happiness, and average meaningfulness) associated with agricultural …

Is gardening associated with greater happiness of urban residents? A multi-activity, dynamic assessment in the Twin-Cities region, USA
As cities seek to become more livable and environment-friendly, activities like bicycling, walking, and urban gardening (household and community-gardening) are receiving much attention. However, few field studies have measured well-being of urban gardening, particularly during household gardening. Our study develops protocols to measure emotional well-being (EWB) reported during household gardening, comparing it with other leisure and day-to-day …
Exploring the Nonlinear Relationship between the Built Environment and Active Travel in the Twin Cities
Active travel is important to public health and the environment. Previous studies substantiate built environment influences active travel, but they seldom assess its overall contribution. Most of the studies assume that built environment characteristics have linear associations with active travel. This study uses Gradient Boosting Decision Trees to explore nonlinear relationships between the built environment and active travel in the Twin Cities.…
