The article reviews the history of the idea of ‘neighbourhood’, by discussing the theoretical frameworks in which it has been located in time and the ideological implications with which it has been cultivated by academic disciplines and by planning experts. The interrelations and mutual references between some of the main issues focused on by sociologists in the planning sub-communities are presented and discussed - especially the role of spatial variables and the value and sense of ‘community’ in the formation of specific social phenomena on a local scale - along with the assumption of neighbourhood as a planning principle and also as an action platform in urban and social policies, including those of the latest generation.
Keywords: neighbourhood; community; local action
