==Description==
A '''neighbor'''hood is a geographically localised [[community]] within a larger city, town or suburb. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face [[interaction]] among members.
In the [[words]] of the urban scholar [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Mumford Lewis Mumford], “Neighbourhoods, in some [[primitive]], inchoate [[fashion]] exist wherever [[human being]]s congregate, in permanent [[family]] dwellings; and many of the [[functions]] of the city tend to be distributed naturally—that is, without any [[theoretical]] preoccupation or [[political]] direction—into neighbourhoods. Most of the earliest cities around the world as excavated by [[archaeologist]]s have [[evidence]] for the [[presence]] of social neighbourhoods. Historical [[document]]s shed light on neighbourhood life in numerous historical preindustrial or nonwestern cities.
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]
