Environmental pollution, particularly caused by vehicular traffic, is becoming a major issue in modern metropolises. This work focuses on Cuenca and how pollution, specifically nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions, affects the value of real estate. An integrated approach was used to analyze using the hedonic pricing model, combining data on home structural characteristics, neighborhood environment aspects, and specific measurements of NO2 emissions. The results reveal a negative and significant relationship between air pollution and the value of properties per square meter. The impact of pollution can vary significantly between different types of dwellings, which are classified based on their type, soil cost, and level of exposure to pollution. This analysis offers a framework for comprehending the impact of environmental pollution on both the quality of life and the value of the housing market, suggesting the need for policies focused on minimizing pollution and protecting property values in urban areas.
