Places4Wellbeing: Measuring Subjective Wellbeing Impacts of Public Places
By Evergreen and Davis Pier
A measurement tool for evaluating the subjective wellbeing impacts of your public place initiative
The Places4Wellbeing tool aims to demonstrate how to transform public spaces in our cities for the health and subjective wellbeing of people – and provide valuable evidence to advocate for investment in creating and maintaining great public places.
Wellbeing is about how people feel. Subjective wellbeing measurement captures how
people personally experience and evaluate their own lives. Here you can learn more about the concept of subjective wellbeing measurement and how the methodology works.
