Abstract Carsharing-facilitating neighbourhood is an emerging concept in urban development that combines carsharing, sustainable transportation-residential planning, and attractive housing to reduce private car use and improve neighbourhood quality. To investigate residents’ preferences for such neighbourhoods, a stated choice experiment was designed that systematically varied attributes of carsharing-facilitating neighbourhoods to elicit their utility for people with a particular socio-demographic profile. The survey was conducted among residents who currently live in densely populated urban areas in The Netherlands. In total, 610 valid responses were obtained for analysis. To derive the utility of carsharing-facilitating neighbourhoods of a particular profile, a mixed logit model was estimated. Results indicate that the utility of a carsharing-facilitating neighbourhood primarily depends on carsharing cost, required carsharing booking time, green space density, housing costs, housing type, housing size and housing building year. Besides, the utility varies with socio-demographic characteristics, such as age, household composition, net monthly income, work status and education level. The estimated results can help policymakers and real estate developers understand the contribution of particular factors to the utility of carsharing-facilitating neighbourhoods, and determine target groups to develop implementation strategies.

1 Introduction Due to increasing private car ownership, cities are facing major challenges such as heavy parking pressure, congestion and air pollution (e.g., Banister et al. 2000; Newman et al. 2016). Negative effects of private car ownership are also visible at the neighbourhood scale. For example, increasingly more public space is used for parking, which reduces the availability of neighbourhood green/open space (e.g., Wiersma et al. 2016). Similarly, road-side parking in neighbourhoods increases risks to residents (e.g., Biswas et al. 2017). In response, urban planners, transport operators and residents began to rethink how to deal with private car ownership and the problems it brings through transportation and land use planning (e.g., Chatman 2009; De Vos et al. 2012). The idea to influence travel behaviors through urban design concepts is not new. The concept of c
