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?
