Identification

Title

Natural neighbourhoods

Abstract

Natural neighbourhoods are neighbourhood definitions and boundaries created during a consultation with Edinburgh residents. Natural neighbourhood boundaries were created in 2004 as part of a review of ward boundaries. The city has changed much since then, the population has increased, new neighbourhoods have appeared and demolition has taken place in other areas so the 2014 consultation has updated these boundaries. The boundaries will be used by the Council and its partners to plan services, consultations and inform policy and strategy development.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Natural neighbourhood boundaries were created in 2004 as part of a review of ward boundaries. In 2014 a consultation was launched allowing members of the public to plot and name their neighbourhoods on a web map. The results were collated and the original natural neighbourhood boundaries were updated.
