how a neighborhood looks and feels. Many things, such as a single building, can have its own
<br />character, but a neighborhood character is the composition of many buildings, streets, parks,
<br />plazas, trees, gardens, views, etc. Essentially anything in the local built or natural environments. It
<br />can be anchored by an architectural style, or it can be anchored by a feature in the landscape.
