The production of neighborhoods on a large or mass scale has not been successful. Procuring the neighborhood ideal requires an attention to detail that few large corporations or government agencies seem capable of instituting.

What is needed is an approach that combines the best of both worlds—a dose of planning, with plenty of flexibility and local empowerment.
