Neighbourhood management is a methodology often used in low-income neighbourhoods, involving improvement and organization of the provision of services in a community as well as the maintenance and repair of infrastructure and conditions.
Problems and Purpose
Originating in the United Kingdom, neighbourhood management "involves the organisation, supervision and delivery of goods and services, the maintenance and enforcement of reasonable standards of repair, maintenance, supervision and provision of acceptable environmental conditions within agreed lines of control and accountability."[1]
Neighbourhood management has been used primarily in low-income neighbourhoods as a way to reform service delivery, improve living conditions and build community capacity. The process is fundamentally participatory in that it involves community members directly in the planning, implementation, and maintenance of services and infrastructure.
