Abstract

The authors propose the idea of the eco-neighbourhood in terms of the environmental crisis now being faced.
Having described the European experience as to the idea, they then lay out a series of principles here felt
to be needful for its further development. The definition here put forward broadens the technological and
ecological scope of the idea as it is at present received by certain professional media and urges that the Econeighbourhood
be rather thought of as an integral part of the city as it is. Such an Eco-neighbourhood
pre-supposes a broadening of both the rights and obligations of its in-dwellers and among these not only
ecological responsibility on their part but an active role in the conception and running of these habitats They
are here felt to be of signal importance in the rehabilitation of the city as an integrating whole rather than
exceptional phenomena.
