Urban green spaces in determining the house price: a theoretical framework

Over the years, there is an obvious loss of green spaces in Kuala Lumpur in order to give ways for more developments. As a result, the reduction of green elements could affect the quality of life of urban dwellers. Urban green areas as environmental goods are essential to support the quality of lif...
