How to create "Place Attachment" in new developments (e.g. Ecotowns)

Here I present my understanding of "place attachment", how it forms, why it is important to individuals and communities.

I ask how one might help foster it in new developments, e.g. through group self-build.

(Unfortunately, "docstoc" doesnt support powerpoint files, so I've had to convert to PDF and lose the recorded commentary.  If you are interested and want to hear the commentary, get in touch and I will email you the powerpoint slide.  Click "view" and "slideshow")
