It has been established that neighborhoods, as a social construct, promote a sense of community, belonging, and place. In terms of physical aspects of the neighborhood, a sense of place can be maintained through continuity, gentle density, pedestrian propinquity, and public transit. Residents should feel compatible with their neighborhood; the environment supports their everyday lifestyle. Residents may feel a sense of community when necessary services are within feasible walking distance.
