About this issue
Summary
For the contributors to this issue ‘neighbourhood’ is a place or area where people live and share infrastructure and amenities, it is not necessarily synonymous with ‘community’. While different backgrounds and geographical locations, their answer to the question ‘Do Neighbourhoods Matter?’ is a resounding ‘yes’ and agree there is need for an updated design and policy framework to guide the present and future of neighbourhoods.
