- Abstract
- Since the publication of the earliest conceptions of the neighborhood by Clarence Perry in the 1920's and the subsequent formalization of neighborhood planning standards and criteria in the manual Planning The Neighborhood (Hygiene of Housing Committee 1960), there have been far-reaching changes of both a social and technical nature which suggest the need for a new look at this approach to neighborhood planning. The purpose of this article is to reexamine the neighborhood unit concept in light of this advancing knowledge and evaluate how applicable those original assumptions underlying the neighborhood are for the contemporary planner developing a process to plan our residential environments. This review begins with a brief synopsis of the earliest physical planning model for neighborhoods. Following this, recent research concerning the relationships between social, mental, and physical outlooks upon, and uses of the neighborhood will be introduced to uncover a broadened array of concerns which should be considered when planning residential environments. These ideas are then applied in an illustrative planning process which concludes the paper.
