Identity: key to meaningful place - making

Francis Violich

Abstract

This paper proposes to make site-specific the ingredients that have gone into "making" a place called Berkeley, the name that identifies both the University Campus and the City which embraces it. The intent is to show how a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of Identity with Place may serve to guide its prospects for the future. To do this the author draws on the attached summary of Ten Properties of Identity with Place developed from extensive field research in urban places of various scales and forms. The paper will demonstrate the extent to which these properties measure up to the environmental character of the Berkeley Campus seen in the context to The City.
