Abstract
ABSTRACTThe classic geographical question of choosing a location has received little attention in studies on urban intentional communities (ICs), despite ICs being, as we suggest, geographical entities. As a group of people organised under shared norms and goals, who reside together in a particular geographical space and are involved in frequent, intensive relationships, an IC requires a location (city or neighbourhood) that is commensurate with its goals. We look upon it as a multi‐stage process of selecting a location that also involves the ex post‐facto evaluation of ICs' sense of place and place‐making needed for the chosen location to be successful. Three Israeli ICs are analysed through interviews with insights drawn regarding this process. We propose using these insights as a foundation towards a broader global discussion on locational choice by ICs.
