Neighborhood in Political Theory
The theory of the polis in the ancient world and subsequently St. Augustine's City of God do not explicitly discuss neighborhoods or sub-city units. Even so, neighborhood is evident as an important geographical and social unit in the urban organization of the ancient world. Most ancient cities had recognizable "quarters" (e.g., the Jewish quarter) and as the ancient world gradually evolved into the medieval, a recognizable concept of neighborhood is evident in the role of parish (the sub-units of a diocese or arch-diocese) in the geographical organization of the Roman Catholic church.
The concept of neighborhood has been an important figure in more recent political theory, particularly in the U.S. The seven chapters in Part III (entitled "Group Organization: Democracy's Method") of Mary Parket Follett's The New State (1918) detail that author's novel insight of the political role of neighborhoods (often organized as wards or precincts in U.S. cities) in democracy. Several contemporaries of Follett, including Jane Addams, Robert A. Woods, and Lyda Judson (L.J.) Hanifan also regarded the urban or rural neighborhood as an important unit of organization.
The Neighborhood Youth Corps, Head Start and other Great Society programs were organized on a neighborhood basis.
The post-war urban migration to the suburbs -arguably a new form of synthetic neighborhood - had devastating consequences for many urban neighborhoods in the view of some urban theorists. From another perspective, urban neighborhoods are very dynamic units that may always be in state of flux. Neighborhood change may include constantly changing composition, definition and boundaries.
