ABSTRACT

This Volume XIII of twenty-one in a collection on Class, Race and Social Structure. First published in 1964, this text looks neighbour behaviour of new estates and subdivisions in England and U.S.A. The study derives from a survey begun on new housing estates near Bristol, England, in 1957 and continued on a number of new subdivisions near Columbus, Ohio, in 1958 and 1959. The enquiry was designed to study the adjustment of (mainly) urban families to life in new rural urban fringe neighbourhoods.
