It is not always greener on the other side: Greenery perception across demographics and personalities in multiple cities

This study analyzes the discrepancies between objective and subjective urban greenery perceptions across five countries using street view imagery and a survey of 1,000 participants, revealing that while demographics and personality have little influence, an individual's geographic location is a primary factor shaping how they perceive green spaces.
