The core principles of Perry’s Neighbourhood Unit were around these design ideals:
“Centre the school in the neighbourhood.
Place arterial streets along the perimeter so that they define and distinguish the the “place” of the neighbourhood.
Design internal streets using a hierarchy that easily distinguishes local streets from arterial streets.
Restrict local shopping areas to the perimeter.
Dedicate at least 10 percent of the neighbourhood land area to parks and openspace .
