Abstract
Throughout the history, the term neighborhood has a different meaning for different cultures and places,
and also used in several different ways. The word is used to designate a neighborhood area or district
inhabited by a community. The term neighborhood units appeared and first popularized by Clarence Perry as
the concept of urban design in America. Since then, the concept of neighborhood units continues to grow and
has become a concept that is able to adapt to the environment, even in the context of a particular country.
Until now there is no sense of neighborhood as a unit which is universally applicable. So as to better
understand the notion of neighborhood units, we need to understand the principles and its adaptation to local
contexts in a formal housing.
