You might be interested to learn about the Gehl Door Average, a metric that Jan Gehl came up with (based on his book Cities for People). It measures the number of doors per 100 meters of street frontage, and is a contributing factor to walkability: https://streets.mn/2014/11/06/front-doors-and-walkable-cities/ https://streets.mn/2014/11/06/front-doors-and-walkable-citie... Parking lots have a 0 GDA, and so feel weirdly empty when walking. (So do parks, but one easily-calculable metric can't capture everything.)

(So do parks, but one easily-calculable metric can't capture everything.)" parks are welcoming, while parking lots are not, so you could also think of parks having infinite GDA, since you can just walk in anywhere (assuming no fences or other impediments along the perimeter).
