Abstract

The phenomenon of urbanization and the expansion of population have resulted in a heightened focus on the interplay between population density and the quality of the local environment in neighborhoods. The evaluation of Neighborhood Environmental Quality and the creation of the Environmental Quality Index aid in categorizing various neighborhoods based on their degree of environmental quality. The study also aids in discerning significant correlations between various density characteristics and the quality of the neighborhood environment. The future effort aims to reassess the density parameters of various residential patterns to promote ecologically sustainable development in both current and future urban areas. Densely populated locations present both difficulties and possibilities. Although higher population density is frequently associated with higher levels of pollution and less availability of green areas, certain aspects of environmental quality, such as access to public transit and services, may be enhanced.
