Unlocking Urban Density: Beyond Numbers and into Perception.

This paper explores the importance of investigating the perception of density in urban environments. It highlights the limitations of traditional, purely objective density metrics and argues for a more comprehensive approach that integrates subjective factors. The paper identifies supporting arguments for studying perceived density, examines counter-arguments, and presents recommendations for urban planners and researchers. By addressing the multifaceted nature of density perception, this paper advocates for the creation of more user-centric, sustainable cities that enhance residents' quality of life.
