==What is a Neighborhood?==
''From:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbourhood''


A neighbourhood (Commonwealth English), or neighborhood (American English), is a geographically localized community within a larger city, town, suburb or rural area. Neighbourhoods are often social communities with considerable face-to-face interaction among members. Researchers have not agreed on an exact definition, but the following may serve as a starting point: "…Neighborhood is generally defined spatially as a specific geographic area and functionally as a set of social networks. Neighborhoods, then, are the spatial units in which face-to-face social interactions occur—the personal settings and situations where residents seek to realize common values, socialize youth, and maintain effective social control."

Neighborhood in comparison to Areas, Zones and Plots

Neighborhoods in the Tygron Platform are mutual exclusive spatial areas that divide a city or village. These areas do not overlap and are, when available, based on real (historical) data. For projects situated in the Netherlands, this data is retrieved from CBS at the level of neighborhoods ("buurten"), as opposed to the larger districts ("wijken").

For planning sessions, it is possible to direct the focus to sub-regions within your project by deactivating certain neighborhoods in a specific scenario. This helps stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the Tygron Platform in a secluded area of the project, before progressing into the more complex spatial issues at hand.

Neighborhoods can be visualized by using the Neighborhoods Overlay.
