The Organic City: Urban Definition and Neighborhood Organization 1880-1920
Patricia Mooney Melvin
Traces the growth of the idea of the organic city and the developing emphasis on the neighbourhood as the basic urban unit. An early expression of the idea was the settlement house movement, but the most effective application of the idea, Melvin shows, was the social unit organisation scheme worked out by Wilbur C. Phillips.
