Planners seek to understand how physical infrastructure and social provisioning systems shape subjective well-being (SWB) of urban residents. However, unpacking this relationship has been challenging due to complex social, ecological, and infrastructural linkages, and the use of different measures of well-being across diverse studies. In this paper, for the first time, we compare three measures of evaluative and emotional SWB employing a consistent and comprehensive list of physical and social provisioning systems, as well as individual-level and interpersonal attributes. We evaluate a methodology for identifying infrastructure priorities associated with SWB, comparing the three measures, and provide guidance for future well-being studies.
