"Neighborhood should hold particular appeal to urban historians. It...helpfully puts [this ideal] into a historical perspective." -- David J. Goodwin, Fordham University, The Metropole"Few concepts match the expansive influence the idea of neighborhood cast over the field of urban planning that expanded rapidly in the 20th century. A sizable literature exists describing the origin, development, and myriad implications of employing the neighborhood concept over the last hundred or so years. However, planning scholars and practitioners need an updated, comprehensive text exploring the idea's relevance for contemporary times. EmilyTalen's intellectually ambitious and sophisticated project successfully fills this gap. Clearly, the key contribution of this book lies in advancing the crucial proposition that the idea of neighborhood remainsrelevant for progressive planning efforts seeking to improve the quality of contemporary city life, especially given the wide range of sociospatially fragmented places characterizing an increasingly urbanized world." -- Sanjeev Vidyarthi, Journal of the American Planning Association"The neighborhood is central to urban life, but has not yet received the scholarly depth represented in this book. Professor Talen recognizes that although the neighborhood may be elusive in its definition, its existence is central to ongoing efforts to renew the city and urban life in fundamental ways." -- Howard Davis, author of The Culture of Building, Living Over the Store: Architecture and Local Urban Life, and the forthcoming Working Cities:Architecture, Place and Production"Neighborhood is an admirably exhaustive account of the planning debate over neighborhood during the twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. It cites an impressively wide range of scholarly articles and books and discusses the various positions of planners and social scientists." -- Professor Jon C. Teaford, author of City and Suburb: The Political Fragmentation of Metropolitan America, 1850-1970"Everyone loves neighborhoods, but few of us get to live in places that genuinely combine human scale, walkability, sociability, and diversity. Emily Talen brings deep scholarship to the task of analyzing the century-long struggle by planners to understand and to design neighborhoods. More importantly, she brings her own unique sense of hope. Her past is a prologue to a new era of neighborhood planning that will build on and transform older ideals and make realneighborhoods an integral part of the 21st-century city." -- Robert Fishman, Taubman College of Architecture and Planning, University of Michigan, "Few concepts match the expansive influence the idea of neighborhood cast over the field of urban planning that expanded rapidly in the 20th century.

Synopsis
The term neighborhood has been reduced to a word for a convenient geographical locator. In fact, most cities claim to be compiled of neighborhoods, but this strays far from the term's original meaning - a spatial unit that people relate to. Neighborhood seeks to dispel this common misconception by integrating a complex historical record and multidisciplinary literature to produce a singular resource for understanding what is meant by neighborhood. Emily Talen provides a multi-dimensional, comprehensive view of what neighborhoods signify how they're idealized and measured, and what their historical progression has been. Talen balances perspectives from sociology, urban history, urban planning, and sustainability among others in efforts to make neighborhoods compatible with 21st century ideals. If neighborhoods are going to play a role in the future of the city, we need to know what and where they are in a more meaningful way. Neighborhoods need to be more than a label and more than a social segregator. For those living in the undefined expanse of contemporary urbanism-which characterizes most of American cities-can the neighborhood come to be more than a shaded area on a map?, The term neighborhood has been reduced to a word for a convenient geographical locator.

For those living in the undefined expanse of contemporary urbanism - which characterizes most of American cities - can the neighborhood come to be more than a shaded area on a map?, A city is a place where people come together, while a neighborhood, it is said, is a place where people belong. And yet this basic element of the human habitat often eludes us. Neighborhood makes the case that the neighborhood as traditionally understood needs to be reinstated as something real, meaningful, and non-exclusionary.
