Urban Space and the Power of Place: Past Practices and Thoughts for the Future

A ‘sense of place’ is both a powerful draw to and a clear indicator of an historic environment. The feel of the place in particular, is one of the senses we have of an historic town or city. We sense ‘place’ and ‘local distinctiveness’ through the nature, shape, quality and materials of the buildings and from the spaces. We sense place from the evidence of human use and activity in the past and in the present.
