The value of urban open space: Meta-analyses of contingent valuation and hedonic pricing results

► We conduct meta-analyses of the contingent valuation and hedonic pricing literature on the value of urban open space. ► We examine the physical, socio-economic and study characteristics that influence the valuation of open space. ► Using a multi-level model we find important regional differences in preferences for urban open space, which suggests that the potential for transferring estimated values between regions is likely to be limited.
