Two main controversies‐over territorial grounding and over the range of functions‐have divided theoretical research on community into four main research traditions. Each of these is discussed in terms of its development, contributions, and inadequacies. Other controversies‐over participatory democracy, over local autonomy, and over the role of physical design–are examined in relation to efforts to construct communities.
