“…All in all, compared to previous classifications our typology of neighborhoods is especially useful, when analyzing topics that strongly relate to the build-environment such as the illustrative examples of population growth, density and car-ownership demonstrate. The classification can be combined with all kinds of spatially explicit data sources, and interesting topics include various aspects related to city planning and urban growth as the built environment is one of the main policy instruments used by the cities (Krigsholm et al, 2022). Finally, in this paper we look at neighborhoods aggregated to city level, but classification and its potential local applications should be also very usable for both research and practice, whenever detailed information on individual neighborhoods is needed.…”

As a result of the ongoing urbanization megatrend, cities have an increasingly critical role in the search for sustainability. To create sustainable strategies for cities and to follow up if they induce desired effects proper metrics on the development of neighborhoods are needed. In this paper, we introduce a neighborhood classification framework and demonstrate its use through an analysis of the 20 largest cities in Finland. The high-quality data available for Finland provided solid grounds for development, but the framework is widely applicable to other locations. The classification is freely available for use and has a multitude of potential applications.

“…The profiles allow for the recognition of gaps, weaknesses, justice, contradictions, and/or political indecisiveness in land policies promoting densification. The generic, literature-based profiles are developed and formulated without a dependence on specific institutional or operational context, notwithstanding the fact that the land policy instruments available or selected to address the challenges identified in the profiles vary in different jurisdictions and across municipalities (e.g., Krigsholm et al, 2022). Our paper contributes to the literature on land policy in the context of densification by providing a more nuanced understanding of the complexities of land policy in promoting and implementing densification.…”
