Abstract
Numerous urban studies have explored the relationship between urban amenities and real estate value. However, a notable gap exists in the literature concerning the specific impact of retail activities on housing values, particularly within European contexts. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between housing values and accessibility to different retail typologies, expanding the research stream to a European city by applying the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model. The results indicate that accessibility to shopping retailers, bars and restaurants has a positive effect. In contrast, accessibility to convenience retailers and traditional markets has a negative impact. No significant relationship is observed between housing values and accessibility to supermarket retailers. Furthermore, this study shows that retail accessibility typologies impact differs in different urban areas. These findings provide useful implications for planners and policymakers, highlighting the need for strategic support for the retail sector in safeguarding and enhancing the investments of investors and families.
期刊介绍:
Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
