While nature is widely acknowledged to contribute to people's well-being, nature
based well-being indicators at city-level appear to be underprovided. This study
aims at filling this gap by introducing a novel indicator based on the proximity
of city-residents to nature that is of high-amenity. High-amenity nature is
operationalized by combining unique systematic data on people's perceptions of
what are the locations of attractive natural areas with data on natural land
cover. The proposed indicator departs from the usual assumption of equal
well-being from any nature, as it approximates the 'actual' subjective quality of
nature near people's homes in a spatially explicit way. Such indicator is used to
rank 148 'cities' in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. International
comparability of the indicator is enhanced by the use of a definition of cities
as functional urban areas (FUAs), which are consistently identified across
countries. Results demonstrate that the average 'nearness' of FUA populations to
high amenity nature varies widely across the observed FUAs. A key finding, that
complements insights from existing city-level indicators, is that while
populations of FUAs with higher population densities may live relatively far from
nature in general, they also live, on average, closer to high-amenity nature than
inhabitants of lower density FUAs. Our results may stimulate policy-debates on
how to combine urban agglomeration with access to natural amenities in order to
account for people's wellbeing.
