Assessing green space exposure in high density urban areas: A deficiency-sufficiency framework for Shanghai by Xinbei Wang, ChengHe Guan

“…Key findings include: (1) Green Coverage Ratio (GCR) is higher in the west and lower in the east, with low values concentrated in the central area, Park Accessibility Index (PAI) has high-value clusters in the southwest and north, and Green View Index (GVI) shows low-value clusters primarily within and near the Middle Ring Road, high-value clusters dominate peripheral areas. (2) Few blocks meet sufficiency standards across all dimensions, with GCR identified as the most deficient dimension, accounting for nearly half of all blocks. (3) MGWR analysis reveals positive correlations of both GCR and GVI with housing price, negative correlations with building density, and mixed effects of road density on PAI. …”
