In the last decades some urban and architectural planning theories, as the new urbanism, have been focusing on the sense of community, security and social capital achievement starting from the design of housing and neighborhood solutions. The paper focuses on a comparative analysis between two similar planned neighbourhoods built on the new urbanism principles. The research findings show that the social dynamics and the sense of security perception are associated to the inhabitant committee presence more than the architectural and urban form.
