This project provides a continuum for the 2024 funded project „Housing choices and wellbeing in Iceland“. In this proposed project we take two important steps forward from the ongoing project, which focuses on how housing choices are connected to perceived wellbeing and satisfaction in life. Firstly, we broaden the analysis scope from housing-related attributes to those related to the residential location including distances to services, transport choices, neighborhood greenness and so on. Secondly, we look at both perceived wellbeing and life satisfaction measures and carbon footprints, the analysis therefore providing valuable information about how and where to develop housing that supports low-carbon living combined with high perceived life satisfaction.
