title: More business in more diverse neighborhoods?
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: The amount of self-employed workers has rapidly increased in the past decade and many of these operate their business from their home. As these home-based businesses add to the diversification of the neighborhoods, this relates to the four ‘generators of diversity’ by Jacobs (1961). These are: mixed primary uses of real estate, small blocks of streets, the mingling of real estate that varies in age, and a sufficiently dense concentration of people. With linear regression models using multiple datasets this thesis measures the degree of influence that diversity, in terms of Jacobs’ generators of diversity, has on the business dynamics in residential neighborhoods. Outcomes indicated that the diversity of real estate age and the population density in the neighborhoods were found to significantly influence business dynamics. The diversity of real estate uses and short building blocks were not found to be of significant influence on business dynamics in the models.
