Livability (Indicator)
The Livability Indicator measures the current livability of an area. This is determined by not only what buildings or terrain type are in that exact location, but also the surrounding area. Low-density housing, combined with open spaces and natural aspects, increase the livability score. High-density, low-cost buildings decrease the livability score.
How is the livability visualized?
- Main article: Livability Overlay.
- The Livability indicator can be visualized using an overlay. This livability overlay displays the average livability for each part of the project detail area, giving an indication of areas with high or low livability.
Indicator targets
The livability indicator uses a single target value based on the physical appearance of buildings; a higher score indicates better livability, and the target represents the minimum score required for sufficiency.
Indicator properties
The livability for an area depends on the type of building or terrain present in that location, as well as the surrounding area. The average of all locations is the resulting score.
The indicator calculates a livability score for each neighborhood, with the overall score being the average of these values.
Stakeholders with this indicator also have access to the Livability Overlay.
