“…Our results provide implications on a wave of potentially large infrastructure improvements for promoting urban greenness in the built environment with health and wellbeing initiatives (Lachowycz and Jones, 2013). In the context of planning to improve the capacities of green amenities and thereby enhance people's subjective wellbeing, the perception of pollution hazards responds to a range of lived experiences and anticipations may be constrained by use frequencies (Wu et al, 2020b) and spacetime scales (Schwanen and Wang, 2014). By considering intervention toolkits flowing from pollution hazards to other perceived neighbourhood characteristics, planners can subsequently establish effective policy interventions and landscape designs for enhancing the provision of urban greenness to a wide array of users.…”

“…In this context, greenness exposures have been an underlying channel that affect the degree of residents' subjective wellbeing. This greennesswellbeing connection has frequently combined built environment with sociodemographic characteristics under the presumption that correlates of subjective wellbeing vary across space and social gradients (Wu et al, 2020b).…”

“…First, we explicitly look at the ways of perceived pollution hazards in confounding the greenness-wellbeing relationship. Previous studies on exploring environmental correlates of subjective wellbeing have mostly focused on the average or population-level effects of proximity to green space (Wu et al, 2019b;Wu et al, 2020b;Xiao et al 2016). However, individuals may respond to changes in the eye-sensored greenness differently depending on their heterogeneous perceptions about pollution hazards (Cao and Wang, 2016;Lovejoy et al, 2010;Walker, 2011;Wang et al, 2020).…”

Urbanisation from the developing world has been phenomenal and renewed the interest of studying the connection between urban greenness and subjective wellbeing. This paper responds to this greenness-wellbeing connection by shifting its focus towards systematically exploring the influences of urban greenness, perceived pollution hazards, and their interaction terms on subjective wellbeing. Using a combination of green view data and individual survey data in Beijing, we find that perceived pollution hazards about the disposal of waste, polluted water, and air pollution have significant interaction effects with eye-sensored greenness exposures on subjective wellbeing. Findings of this study suggest that policies geared towards mitigating particular domains of pollution hazards and improving green landscape should work together for shaping people's quality of life.

“…Scholars and policymakers have become increasingly aware of the mental health benefits of parkland, especially for urban residents ( van den Bosch and Sang, 2017 ). A large number of empirical studies confirmed that urban parkland is beneficial to mental wellbeing ( Dzhambov and Dimitrova, 2014 ; Grilli et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2019 ; Roberts et al, 2019 ; Veitch et al, 2020 ; Wan et al, 2020 ; Wolf and Wohlfart, 2014 ; Wu et al, 2020 ; Yigitcanlar et al, 2020 ). There are at least four underlying pathways explaining why green spaces can improve mental health and wellbeing ( Markevych et al, 2017 ).…”

The worldwide coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has seriously affected the physical health and mental wellbeing (i.e mental stress and suicide intention) of numerous urban inhabitants across the globe. While many studies have elucidated urban parkland enhances and mental wellbeing, the potential for parkland to mitigate mental health burden imposed by the COVID-19 has received no attention. This nationwide study systematically explored the association between parkland, the COVID-19 epidemic and mental wellbeing from 296 cities in China. The study innovatively used big data from Baidu Search Engine to assess city-level mental wellbeing, thereby enabling comparisons among cities. The results show that the provision of parkland is positively associated with mental wellbeing during the COVID-19 epidemic. For COVID-19-related indicators, the geographical distance to Wuhan city, work resumption rate, and travel intensity within the city are also positively associated with mental wellbeing, while the number of COVID-19 infections and the proportion of migrants from Hubei Province for each city are negatively associated with mental wellbeing. Last, the most important finding is that parkland reduces the negative effect of COVID-19 on mental wellbeing during the COVID-19 epidemic. To achieve the goal of promoting mental wellbeing through urban planning and design during the future pandemics, policymakers and planners are advised to increase the provision of parkland and encourage residents to use them with proper precautions.

“…Residential satisfaction can be described as the individual's level of approval with conditions in their residential neighbourhood (Terzano, 2014). It is considered a notable indicator of the quality of life and happiness (Amole, 2009;Stauss and Neuhaus, 1997;Wu et al, 2020). Residents' independent evaluations of their residence and neighbourhood also determine the level of action needed from the authority to improve the general living condition.…”

Abstract. Residential satisfaction, an indicator of the quality of life, can be conceptualized with the objective and subjective evaluation of the physical and ecological characteristics of dwellings and neighbourhoods. The majority of the New Yorkers remained indoors during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing the importance of the residential environment and satisfaction like never before. Noise and safety are two major determinants of residential satisfaction that changed much during the pandemic lockdown. We used citizen-generated non-emergency (NYC311) and emergency (NYPD911) complaint data to investigate the spatial and temporal change dynamics of complaints related to noise and safety. In the noise domain, we focused on NYC311 complaints associated with the noise from neighbours, streets, and illegal fireworks. In the safety domain, we examined the change of both physical and economic safety. For physical safety, we used the NYPD 911 data related to burglary and vehicle larceny, where for economic safety, we used NYC311 complaints correspond to price gouging. We spatially aggregated the complaints at the census tract level (total = 2123) and performed Welsch’s t-test to identify the change dynamics of the satisfaction during the pandemic for different socioeconomic factors. We found the overall residential satisfaction decreased during the pandemic with extreme noise exposure and inadequate safety. The study also found the economic and racial disparity in residential satisfaction during the pandemic, as with statistical significance, the complaints regarding noise, physical and financial safety generated from the Black, Latinx, and impoverished communities were significantly higher than White, Asian and affluent communities.
