The
goal of Neighborhood Planning is to build social capital, which
is the ability of the neighborhood to organize itself to identify
problems and solve them in partnership with elected officials, businesses,
and public agencies. In this section, we define Neighborhood Planning,
assemble the parts of a good neighborhood plan, and review its history.
Neighborhood Planning is a way to unify and improve place-based
social and physical conditions.
