community pride
Shared local identity
Community pride is a collective sense of satisfaction and attachment that residents feel toward their neighborhood, town, or city.
It manifests in civic engagement, local beautification efforts, and defense of a place's reputation: The mural project grew out of community pride.
Community pride often intensifies around shared institutions—schools, sports teams, historic landmarks—that give a place its identity.
