    Clarence Stein suggested that neighborhoods should be designed with a maximum 1/4 mile radius for walking to a community center from homes. Schools would be located at the center of the neighborhood within a half mile of all residents, and small shopping centers for daily needs would be located near schools. Most residential streets would be cul-de-sacs to eliminate through traffic, and parks would flow through the neighborhood similarly to the Radburn plan.

    Clarence A. Perry (1929) was one of the first to give some


    consideration to the physical form of the neighborhood unit.

    • Suggests that the maximum radius for walking distance


    from the home to the community center should be only 1/4
    mile (400m).

    • Shopping areas are situated at intersecting traffic streets


    on the outside corners rather than at the center of the
    unit.The elementary school is the center of the unit and
    within a one-half mile radius of all residents in the
    neighborhood.

    • A small shopping center for daily needs is located near the


    school.

    • Most residential streets are suggested as cul-de-sac roads


    to eliminate through traffic, and park space flows through the
    neighborhood in a manner reminiscent of the Radburn plan.
