Does urban form matter for innovation productivity? A national multi-level study of the association between neighbourhood innovation capacity and urban sprawl (2019, background): “Compact places increase the chance of social interaction, networking and knowledge spillover (Katz and Wagner, 2014; Leyden, 2003).”
Sense of Community and Its Association With the Neighborhood Built Environment (2014, background): “For example, perceiving the neighborhood to be safe, seeing neighbors when out, and having local interesting sites in the neighborhood have been shown to be positively associated with sense of community (Leyden, 2003; Lund, 2002; Wood, Frank, & Giles-Corti, 2010).”
Is there a place for social capital in the psychology of health and place (2008, background): “At the same time, there has been growing interest in neighbourhood and area variations in social capital (Altschuler et al., 2004; Kawachi & Kennedy, 1999; Leyden, 2003; McCulloch, 2001; Subramanian, Lochner, & Kawachi, 2003; Veenstra, 2005).”
In search of causality: a systematic review of the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among adults (2011, background): “Creating or modifying neighborhoods to make them walkable may not always immediately lead to more physical activity, but could result in other health benefits such as higher social capital [62,63], improved mental health [64], and fewer motor vehicle caused pedestrian injuries [65].”
Social contacts as a possible mechanism behind the relation between green space and health. (2009, background): “The results of a study by Leyden (2003) show that people in Ireland in walkable neighbourhoods, which are among other things characterised by the availability of local parks, are ‘more likely to know their neighbours, to participate politically, to trust others, and to be involved socially’ (p…”
The Walkability Premium in Commercial Real Estate Investments (2011, positive): “…greater physical activity (Doyle et al. 2006, Frank et al. 2006, Kerr et al. 2006, Pikora et al. 2006, Forsythe et al. 2007, Frank et al. 2007) and increased social capital including more community cohesion, political participation, trust and social activity (Leyden 2003, du Toit et al. 2007).”
The Built Environment and Social Capital: A Systematic Review (2018, background): “Research on access to destinations or walkability and social capital could benefit from the use of diverse but standardized measures of walkability and social capital, as half of the significant findings reported in this domain came from one specific design (Leyden, 2003).”
Rethinking how built environments influence subjective well-being: a new conceptual framework (2018, background): “Empirical studies show that neighborhood planning has a significant impact on personal relationships (Cabrera and Najarian 2013; Leyden 2003; Lund 2003; Podobnik 2002; Wood et al. 2008), on leisure activities (Handy, Cao, and Mokhtarian 2008; Handy et al. 2002; Lee and Moudon 2008), on emotions and…”

‘Eyes on where children play’: a retrospective study of active free play (2015, background): “These features facilitate social interactions and monitoring of behavior among residents, which in turn promote social capital (Leyden 2003; Frumkin, Frank, and Jackson 2004), social support, and social responsibility (Jacobs 1961; Leccese and McCormick 2000).”
Bonding Social Capital in Low-Income Neighborhoods (2005, result): “Leyden (2003) provided support for this assertion by studying neighborhood types and showing that more ‘‘walkable’’ neighborhoods were associated with higher levels of social capital.”
