Common misconceptions
  • Believing a 'neighborhood' is only the houses (it includes shops, parks, schools, places of worship)
  • Believing every neighborhood has all the same kinds of places (rural / urban / suburban differ)
  • Confusing 'place' with 'building' — a park or a sidewalk garden is also a place
