Jeremey Wells, a doctoral candidate in Clemson University’s program in planning, design and the built environment, wants to learn more about how and why people value new urban neighborhoods. According to a Clemson press release, “he is conducting an online survey that looks at the relationship between the age and physical design of urban neighborhoods and residents’ emotional attachment to these places. The two study neighborhoods are historic Charleston, south of Broad Street, and the I’On new urbanist development in Mount Pleasant.

The primary aim of the research is to discover how places can be designed and preserved to maximize both sense of place and quality of life. The Charleston neighborhood south of Broad Street is historic; the I’On development is new but designed using traditional urban patterns and architectural styles.” The study is online at http://www.neighborhoodstudy.com/
