Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, designer, writer, and educator. He designed more than 1,000 structures over a creative period of 70 years.
Wrightt believed in designing in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.
This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater (1935), which has been called the best all-time work of American architecture. As a founder of organic architecture, Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century, influencing three generations of architects worldwide through his works.

CLARENCE ARTHUR PERRY, Clarence Arthur Perry (1872 – September 6, 1944) was an American urban planner. WHAT IS A NEIGHBOURHOOD?ORIGIN OF NEIGHBOURHOODWHAT WAS THE NEED OF PLANNING A NEIGHBOURHOOD UNIT?
Radburn, New Jersey is a town planned in 1929 by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright and landscape architect Marjorie Sewell Cautley.
It is based on Radburn Theory of Town Planning.
It is America's first garden community serving as a worldwide example of the harmonious blending of private area and open spaces.
The intent was to built a community which made provisions for the complexities of modern life while still providing open spaces and being economically viable
The community was intended to be a self sufficient entity with residential, Commercial and industrial areas each supplementing the needs of others.
Elements of Neighbourhood_Building and Town PlanningA Makwana
A neighbourhood is a small unit which serves the local community and encourages them to foster a neighbourhood spirit or relationship which seems to have been lost in the modern city life. It is basically an American idea.
Planning & Urban Design Principles for Non-PlannersVierbicher
Much of the development that has occurred in Wisconsin and around the nation over the past 60 years has created a feeling of sameness from community to community. Our development pattern has separated uses from one another and catered to cars at the expense of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The New Urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant mixed-use communities built with integrated housing, employment, shops, and schools. It is a revival of the lost art of "placemaking" to raise our quality of life and standard of living by creating neighborhoods, not just subdivisions, and building main streets, not just shopping malls.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Neighborhood planning case study
1. Neighborhood Concept.
• Neighborhood “the area within residents may share all the common services,
social activities and facilities required in the vicinity of dwellings”.
• The concept of the neighborhood unit, crystallized from the prevailing social and
intellectual attitudes of the early 1900’s by Clarence Perry, is an early
diagrammatic planning model for residential development in metropolitan areas.
Necessity of Neighborhood Planning.
• Earlier idea of Perry was to provide a planning formula for the arrangement and distribution
of playgrounds in the New York region.
• The necessity thought was because of the rise of the auto-mobile in the early 20th century.
• Road sense was not proper with the social conscious, thus street fatality rates were
increased.
• Idea was to generate islands licked amidst a wide sea of vehicular traffic, a dangerous
obstacle which prevented children (and adults) from safely walking to nearby playgrounds
and amenities.
• Ultimately, however, it evolved to serve a much broader purpose, of providing an identity.
2. Purpose of Neighborhood Planning.
• To make the people socialize with one and another.
• To enable the inhabitants to share the public amenities and recreational facilities.
• To support a safe and healthy environment within the neighborhood.
• To provide safety and efficiency to road users and pedestrians.
• To maintain, enhance, and improve area for recreational activities.
• To determine community’s prospects for the future.
Idea of Perry’s Neighborhood.
The core principles of Perry’s Neighborhood Unit were around these design ideals:
• Centre the school in the neighborhood.
• Place arterial streets along the perimeter so they define and distinguish the “place” of
the neighborhood.
• Design internal streets using a hierarchy that easily distinguishes local streets from
arterial streets.
• Restrict local shopping areas to the perimeter.
• Dedicate at least 10 percent of the neighborhood land area to parks and open space.
3. Principles of Neighborhood Planning.
1. Size :
• The town is divided into self-contained units or sectors of 10,000 population.
• This is further divided into smaller units called neighborhood with 2,000 to 5,000 based on the requirement of one primary school.
• The size of the unit is therefore limited to about 1 to 1.5 sq.km i.e. within walkable distance of 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Boundaries :
• The unit should be bounded on all its sides by main road, wide enough for traffic.
3. Protective Strips :
• These are necessary to protect the neighborhood from annoyance of traffic and to provide suitable facilities for developing parks, playgrounds and road widening
scheme in future. These are also called Minor Green Belts.
4. Internal Streets :
• The internal streets are designed to ensure safety to the people and the school going children.
• The internal streets should circulate throughout the unit with easy access to shops and community centers.
5. Layout of Buildings :
• To encourage neighborhood relation and secure social stability and balance.
• The houses to suit the different income group should be provided such as single family houses, double family houses, cottages, flats, etc.
6. Shopping Centers :
• Each shop should be located on the circumference of the unit, preferably at traffic junctions and adjacent to the neighborhood units.
7. Community Centers :
• Each community will have its center with social, cultural and recreational amenities.
8. Facilities :
• All public facilities should be located within 1 km in the central place so as to form a nucleus to develop social life of the unit.
4. Southern Village in Chapel Hill (USA).
• It includes office space, retail space, residential units, restaurants and entertainment.
An elementary school, a daycare center, and a church have been developed on the
site.
• It surrounds a central green, which hosts a summer farmer’s market and concerts.
• Southern Village was the top selling neighborhood in the triangle market from 1999
to 2001.
• Nationally recognized as an example of smart growth, Southern Village has been
featured in numerous publications including TIME, Better Homes and Gardens, and
Builder magazines.
Bird view of southern village.
• Southern Village is a neighborhood located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
• It is developed in the 1994 in a traditional, small-town style.
• It is a mix-use type of development which is located on 312 acres (1.3 sq.km).
• It includes 550 single-family homes, 375 townhomes and condominiums, 250
apartments, and 350,000 sq.ft (33,000sq.m) of retail, office, and civic space.
5. Pedestrian-friendly design that encourages walking as
daily transportation and also street fatality rates are
decreases.
Parking space is given for vehicles which makes
transportation easy.
A site having boulevards which creates sustainable
environment.
6. The Lumina theatre is located within the village
center and provides entertainment for
community residents.
Southern village includes 115 townhomes,
representing diverse styles and building
materials which also encourage the social
stability and balance.
Special importance is given for the bicycles by
giving an individual path for it.
