Current neighborhood planning and policy often rely on the delineation of neighborhood boundaries. However, the dissonance between resident perceptions of neighborhood boundaries and administrative boundaries creates difficulties for organizing and community-based urban planning. Using cognitive mapping methods, we are studying how residents of various identities, housing tenure status, and age in an area of Detroit conceptualize their neighborhood boundaries amidst neighborhood change.
