city pride
Local civic enthusiasm
City pride is a collective attachment to and enthusiasm for one's city, expressed through support for local sports teams, celebration of distinctive neighborhoods, or defense against outside criticism.
It often intensifies around civic achievements or rivalries with neighboring cities: Cleveland's city pride surged when the Cavaliers won the championship.
The phrase can carry both genuine affection and ironic self-awareness about a place's flaws.
