<br/><br/> Though the concept of neighbourhood continues to remain relevant both in scholarship and in policy<br/>circles, it remains fluid and contested, as there is no agreed definition on what exactly it is. It has variously been defined as a place, a community and a policy unit. This article, which is based on the review<br/>of relevant literature, reviews how it has evolved both as an academic concept and research unit and<br/>how it has been construed by scholars, in addition to understanding its relevance in policy and research<br/>circles. By synthesizing literature in these critical areas, the review provides a condensed knowledge,<br/>which help to shape our current theoretical understanding on the neighbourhood perspective.
