“…Over the past decades, several efforts have been made by urban developers worldwide to conceptualise urban-related identification in environmental psychology and people perception (He et al, 2023;Lin et al, 2023;M€ uller-Eie and Alvarez, 2020). One of the particular importance fields is the work on "place-identity" (Proshansky and Fabian, 1987; This research examines how city identity in a historic area are shaped and challenged by the area's long-standing cultures, traditions and customs (Abusaada and Elshater, 2022;Hauge, 2007;Oktay, 2002).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to revisit the concepts of city singularity and identity, as well as the concept’s related topics (i.e. place identity, place attachment and place dependence). The aim is to investigate the impact of development projects on people's preferences for old and contemporary features in modern cities. The evidence for this can be seen mainly at historical sites such as Heliopolis in Cairo, Egypt.Design/methodology/approachThe authors investigated how development projects affect place identity and city singularity through a three-step process. As a first step, an online questionnaire was administered to experts to assess the characteristics that shape the identity of local districts. In the second and third steps, interviews were conducted, followed by online surveys directed at Heliopolis residents and non-residents. The weight of people’s preferences was determined using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM).FindingsThe results highlighted people's preferences to consider when developing projects at historical sites. Based on these preferences, the authors’ concluded remarks provide insight into some considerations for developing projects in historic places.Originality/valueThe added value here is surveying people’s preferences about development projects in historical places. The physical and social components interplay contributes to city identity and singularity. Based on these preferences, this investigation offers valuable insights into enhancing historical site development.

Understanding residents' perceptions of the urban form can guide efforts to improve the urban milieu. However, existing research on place perception of historic environment has overlooked the social dimension and focused on isolated historic quarters, resulting in "zones of gentrification." Thus, a comprehensive analytical framework to the urban image inquiry of a megacity historic urban center is proposed to address this gap. An online questionnaire is distributed among the residents of the Yuexiu District in Guangzhou, China. The collected data are processed using ArcGIS to create a 3D cognitive map and a 2D affective map. The relationships between environmental features, subjective evaluated qualities, and residents' perceptions are analyzed statistically where applicable. Results show that large natural features and public spaces are the most prominent for residents of a historic urban center, whereas designated historic districts are rarely noticed. In addition, districts are more imageable than landmarks, paths are frequently overlooked, and contextual sizable forms and functions are highly noticeable, different from conventional studies. Evaluations of walking environments, public spaces, and landscapes and green areas by residents are strongly correlated with their affective experiences. With the above findings, implications in improving socially-oriented urban design strategies in historic urban centers are discussed.
