        abstract = {Abstract—Urban environment quality refers physical, social and economic aspect. Physical factors include air and water quality, availability of green spaces, waste management, noise levels, walkability, quality of structure, provision of amenities and essential services. Physical factors include environmental aspects which are measurable and non-measurable. Social aspects of NEQ (neighbourhood environmental quality include social conditions about neighbourhood, safety and security.  Local facilities, connectivity to transportation, its quality defines economical factor to evaluate NEQ. Urban density, giving rise to more housing demands, adversely influences air, water, noise, and the environment around the urban habitat of cities but directly influencing economic and social factors of NEQ. More civilization establishes all the facilities nearby which are schools, hospitals, medical, market and public amenities as well. Different countries will show different key factors based on their culture and development of urban areas.
All these practices challenge the quality of community life in urban residential areas of cities. Are these practices related to issues of happy human relations, outdoor style living, natural environment, public security, environmental protection, and social interactions.  These factors positively influence urban residence’s wellbeing, physical and mental health. Exposure to pollutions, noise and physical disorder can lead to increase stress and health issues. These relationships between NEQ and human wellbeing mediated by aspects like stress levels, engagements in physical activities, and overall neighbourhood satisfaction, green infrastructure, and sense of security. In Urban residential areas of the city, people are happy to live in dense areas despite facing bad environmental and health conditions to achieve a sense of security and easy accessibility to all facilities. This is helping them to reduce their mental stress and improve mental wellbeing with better social structure in dense urban neighbourhood. 
The methodology aims to study the literature papers for the last two decades researching on neighbourhood environmental quality factors in urban neighbourhoods of different countries. Analysis of these practices focuses on relevant domains of NEQ, their evolution and knowledge structure that are helping to improve the quality of community life in urban neighbourhood areas of cities. The study aims to find out the most impactful factor for urban areas to improve neighbourhood environment quality and residential community life in the city.},
