Cover Story: A desirable neighborhood should ideally be a ‘sweet spot’ in the sense of being green and walkable at the same time. However, these two characteristics of a neighborhood are rarely investigated within the same research scope. We addressed this gap in the context of a large metropolitan city (i.e., Sydney) in Australia by using suburb level walkability (Walk Score®) and greenness (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) data. From the fine-sourced data and multi-layered analysis within the geographic information system (GIS), we found an overall negative relationship between walkability and greenness with significant local variability. These results indicate that walkability and greenness have inverse or mixed associations in the Sydney metropolitan area. Ongoing planning efforts should focus on turning the neighborhoods into ‘sweet spots’. View this paper.
