The Four Dimensions of Place

The Four Dimensions of Place are a way to understand how a location influences our experience and sense of belonging. They include: 1. **Location** – The physical position or surroundings, like city or neighborhood. 2. **Locale** – The physical environment, such as parks, buildings, or streetscape. 3. **Sense of Place** – The emotional or cultural connection people feel towards a place, like community pride. 4. **Experience of Place** – The personal or social interactions and activities that happen there over time. Together, these dimensions shape how we perceive and value a place in our lives.
