Aligning “Communities of Place” with “Communities of Interest”

NEIGHBORHOODS USED TO BE OUR COMMUNITY OF PLACE AND INTEREST.

The neighborhood, whether in the suburbs or the city, was the place that dominated our lives. Neighborhood streets, parks and school grounds used to be the places where people, especially kids, spent their “free” time. People historically focused their activities closer to home, be they church, club, sport, shopping or entertainment. Neighborhoods centered our lives and satisfied our interests.
