This book provides geographical perspectives on the complex and
multifaceted relationship between people and their lived
environments. Scholars with varied regional, theoretical, and
topical specialties offer chapters that explore different aspects
of a phenomenon so pervasive that no conception of social or
political action can afford to ignore it. In the process of spatial
organization and differentiation, people develop emotional
attachments to specific places, as well as people, objects, and
practices associated with those places. Place attachments thereby
shape everyday routines (e.g., routes to work, shopping, social
interactions), major life choices (e.g., places of residence,
education, and vacations), and identities (e.g., civic, national,
and religious). These attachments occur across multiple scales from
personal dwellings to community, region, and homeland. It is our
hope that this book reveals synergies between geography and other
disciplines engaging with place attachment whilst invigorating
research on the topic. The Power of Place in Place Attachment will
be of great value to researchers and scholars of geography,
identity, mobility, and urban landscape change. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of
Geographical Review.
