Why neighborhoods?

Traditional methods of defining urban environments, such as ZIP and postal codes, were created for administrative purposes. The ZIP/postal code boundaries were established to allow for the most efficient means of mail delivery, not as a practical way to define regions.

The concept of the neighborhood evolved through human perception, and hence neighborhoods are defined in a way that is consistent with the way people view urban space. Therefore, presenting location based information through the context of neighborhoods is a much more useable way to communicate information concerning urban geography.
