This is a term that is applied to both people and places, often implying an identity with a certain authenticity or distinction. Across our cities, 'urban character' is defended in older suburbs and created in ones - preserved and constructed. In-depth interviews with residents from a range of locations across the Melbourne metropolitan area in 2004 revealed that the experience and discourse of 'character' encompass a range of understandings of place identity. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Making Sense of Place: Exploring concepts and expressions of place through different senses and lenses, p. 229-237 | Publisher: | National Museum of Australia Press | Place of Publication: | Canberra, Australia | ISBN: | 9781876944513 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 120501 Community Planning | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 870105 Urban Planning | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://books.google.com.au/books?id=bXKbHwAACAAJ&dq http://www.nma.gov.au/about_us/publications/ http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an42785402 |
