Abstract
The importance of the local community in the modern city has been the subject of prolonged debate. This research, based on an empirical investigation in Glasgow, first identifies a set of popularly acknowledged neighbourhoods within the study area, and then evaluates each perceived neighbourhood in terms of six socio‐psychological measures of neighbourhood cohesion. The evidence supports the continuing importance of the neighbourhood community for the majority of urban dwellers.Keywords
