Does a positive density perception increase the probability of living in the ideal housing type? Evidence from the Loire-Atlantique Département in France

Résumé

What does the ideal housing type look like? A 2015 online survey of individuals living in the Loire-Atlantique Département in France provided 1,134 interviews, which we analyze using a mixed-effect probit model. We look at the probability of living in the ideal housing type related to 28 variables of dwelling and respondent characteristics, density perception, district perception, type of municipality, and proximity to education, healthcare and food facilities. The issue is important because certain housing types yield greater land consumption and longer trips. Local governments support infill developments with higher built-up density levels to conserve land and support walking, cycling, and transit. We find that the probability of living in the ideal housing type has no relationship to density perception. What matters is a positive district perception and proximity to healthcare. Well-designed infill development with higher built-up density levels can succeed, associating a higher probability of living in the ideal housing type with suitable urban forms given the physical constraints of territories, in a sustainable development framework.
