Definición

  • Neighborhood unit concept is the term applied to a broad body of study about physical and social community development codified by the sociologist Clarence Arthur Perry in 1923 and published in 1929. In his monograph “The Neighborhood Unit,” published as part of The Regional Survey of New York and Its Environs (1929), Perry proposed a schematic physical plan designed to cultivate neighborhood social structure and ameliorate the dangers, alienation, and general social deterioration prevalent in the urban environment.
