Territorial Zoning
Oscar Newman
Residential areas should be divided into small clusters with defined boundaries to foster a sense of ownership and safety.
Context
Urban neighborhoods seeking to reduce crime and increase resident involvement.
Problem
Large, undifferentiated apartment complexes create anonymity and discourage resident responsibility for spaces.
Solution
Organize residential areas into small, clearly defined clusters with physical boundaries and entries that signal shared ownership.
