Neighborhoods and Segregation

This chapter reviews the final, and most significant, debate about the neighborhood: its association with social segregation. Many have argued that the delineation of neighborhood is by definition a form of exclusion, and that if neighborhoods weren’t identified in the first place, there would be less emphasis on social sorting and who is “in” and “out” of the neighborhood. There is no denying that the neighborhood, especially the planned neighborhood unit, was and is associated with segregation, sometimes explicitly. Proposed resolutions of this debate are (a) to make neighborhood-scale social diversity an explicit policy goal and (b) to look for ways to successfully integrate smaller, more homogeneous neighborhoods set within larger, heterogeneous districts. In both cases, it is again the physically defined neighborhood rather than the socially differentiated neighborhood that provides an identity through which diversity can be embraced.
