Theory 99/Urban & Built Environment/Green space use
Use Follows Access
The claim
Urban green space use is set by the ratio of access distance to population density rather than by the amount of green space provided.
01Mechanism
Use requires the space to be within walking distance of enough people; the ratio determines the catchment population per unit area.
02Prediction
Use should track the ratio.
03Refutation
Use tracking provision area would remove access.
