Neighborhood in Political Theory

The theory of the polis in the ancient world and subsequently St. Augustine's City of God do not explicitly discuss neighborhoods or sub-city units. Even so, neighborhood is evident as an important geographical and social unit in the urban organization of the ancient world. Most ancient cities had recognizable "quarters" (e.g., the Jewish quarter) and as the ancient world gradually evolved into the medieval, a recognizable concept of neighborhood is evident in the role of parish (the sub-units of a diocese or arch-diocese) in the geographical organization of the Roman Catholic church.

the concept of neighborhood has been a figure in more recent political theory, particularly in the U.S. The seven chapters in Part III (entitled "Group Organization: Democracy's Method") of  Mary Parket Follett's The New State (1918) detail that author's novel insight of the political role of neighborhoods (often organized as wards or precincts in U.S. cities) in democracy. Numerous contemporaries of Follett, including Jane Addams, Robert A. Woods, and [[Lyda Judson (L.J.) Hanifan.

The Neighborhood Youth Corps, Head Start and other Great Society programs were organized on a neighborhood basis.
