The Urban Village and the Urban Neighborhood: Impact on Perception of Neighborhoods in the Buckhead Area

1991-06 , Merklein, Gordon H.

Our perceptions of the built environment have an important influence on the way we experience our cities. In the late 1950s, Kevin Lynch began studying human cognition and cognitive mapping in order to understand how people see their cities. From these studies, Lynch found that people cognitively organize cities with a series of common themes, which he defined as paths, edges, nodes, districts, and landmarks. The evolution of these design elements and the study on human cognition and city design has helped planners, architects, urban designers, and others interested in the built environment to understand how people organize their image of the city. This paper has two goals: 1) how residents of the neighborhoods which comprise the larger Buckhead community perceive the image of both their residential area, which is stable, and the adjacent commercial activity, which is undergoing change; and 2) to identify what residents define as the image of their community in terms of both geographical boundaries and physical elements, especially when both are constantly changing.
