The primary goal of the built environment is to create the infrastructure that facilitates the needs of the people who use it and elevates their quality of life. Sustainable development has encouraged architects, urban designers, and urban planners (practitioners) to be more sensitive to the built environment's economic, environmental, and social dimensions.Using a capabilities-based approach, practitioners can improve a neighbourhood's social equity by enhancing residents' spatial accessibility. However, the tools and methods available to practitioners cannot evaluate the distributional effects of neighbourhood planning in a disaggregated way. In comparison, methods developed in adjacent fields of mobility analysis and transportation planning have been successfully employed in such disaggregated simulations for many years.This thesis aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice using a mixed-methods approach to develop a computational model assessing distributional access to neighbourhood amenities. The overarching research question is - "How can digital tools support practitioners in evaluating the social consequences of their designs?". The theoretical perspectives on conceptualising Urban Social Sustainability (USS) are first explored using an inductive approach. Then, using a deductive approach, a study on practitioners' conceptualisation and operationalisation of USS through interviews is conducted. Next, an indicator of distributed accessibility and an Activity-Based Model (AcBM) of Gothenburg are developed. Finally, using a neighbourhood in Gothenburg, Sweden, this thesis demonstrates how practitioners may apply AcBMs to evaluate individual accessibility early in the design and planning process.The studies show that practitioners' conceptualisation focused on the individual perspective of neighbourhood residents, specifically by improving social capital through social equity. Therefore, urban accessibility is a tangible point of departure towards digitalising USS in the neighbourhood planning process. The validation studies of the AcBM developed in this thesis show promising results in imputing national-level mobility patterns at the neighbourhood level. The results of the demonstration case show that practitioners can use AcBMs as instruments of designerly inquiry to test neighbourhood planning scenarios and evaluate planning policies regarding their social sustainability impacts.Theoretically, this thesis contributes to USS discourse through a conceptual framework of USS and practitioners' perspectives on USS. Methodologically, it contributes to neighbourhood planning by developing an indicator of the distributional effects of neighbourhood plans and an AcBM of neighbourhood accessibility. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the importance of mobilising existing research from adjacent fields, such as transport planning and mobility, while incorporating theoretical and practical perspectives to operationalise USS in neighbourhood planning.
