Neighbourhoods are typically generated by social [[interaction]] among people living near one another. In this sense they are local social [[units]] larger than households not directly under the [[control]] of city or [[state]] officials. In some preindustrial urban [[traditions]], basic municipal [[functions]] such as protection, social regulation of births and marriages, cleaning and upkeep are handled informally by neighbourhoods and not by urban governments; this [[pattern]] is well documented for historical Islamic cities.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbor]
