3. INTRODUCTION
 History :
 Robert E. Park and E.W Burges introduced the concept of neighbourhood while Clarence Arthur Perry
developed the idea of neighbourhood planning in the early 1900’s.
 What is neighbourhood planning?
 The concept of neighbourhood planning is based on the principle that one is planning for society and not for
an aggregate of houses.
 The neighbourhood planning is an attempt to form various physical
units of residential areas belonging to a particular rank of life.
 Purpose of Neighboruhood planning:
 To make people socialize with each other.
 To provide safety and efficiency to road users and pedestrians.
 To support a safe and healthy environment within the neighborhood.
 To enable the inhabitants to share the public and recreational facilities.

4. PRINCIPLES OF NEIGHBOURHOOD
PLANNING
 Principles and important features of Neighbourhood planning:
 (a) Size: The town is divided into self-contained units or sectors of 10,000
population. This is further divided into smaller units called neighbourhood
unit with 2,000 to 5,000 . The size of the unit is therefore limited to
about 1 to 1. 5 sq km .
 (b) Boundaries: The unit should be bounded on all its sides by main
road, wide enough for traffic.
 (c) Protective Strips: These are necessary to protect the neighbourhood 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.
 (d) Internal Streets: The internal streets are designed to ensure safety to the people and the school going children in
particular .

5. MERITS OF NEIGHBOURHOOD
PLANNING
 Neighbourhood planning enables communities to play a much stronger role in shaping the areas
in which they live and work and in supporting new development proposals. Communities can
also address issues related to land use and development through the Neighborhood Plan.
 Enables the bringing together of residents, businesses,
local groups, landowners and developers to share ideas and
work together to build consensus about what the area needs.
 Neighbourhood planning provides the opportunity for
communities to set out a positive vision for how they
want their community.

6. DEMERITS OF NEIGHBOURHOOD
PLANNING
 TOO COSTLY
Sometimes, a major concern for the neighbourhood planning scheme is that it costs too much. The cost of
maintenance and improvement work undertaken annually can be a huge financial burden for less affluent
urban societies.
 TIME TAKEN
Since neighbourhood planning requires the participation of all the residents, it takes a lot of time to plan
and implement. The approval of all the members are required and the positive feedback collected over a
certain period, can prove to be too time consuming.
 FAIR REPRESENTATION OF CITIZENS IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE
It is not always possible to get each and every citizen involved in the neighbourhood planning. This is
especially true in the Indian urban setting where there is lack of awareness in such contexts.
 COMPLEX AND BURDENSOME PROCESS
Certain researchers argue that neighbourhood planning is a complex and burdensome process. It can affect
the lives of the citizens who are involved in this process. It can be troublesome in the less affluent settings.
