This informative volume gathers contemporary accounts of the
growth, influences on, and impacts of so-called gated communities,
developments with walls, gates, guards and other forms of
surveillance. While gated communities have become a common feature
of the urban landscape in South Africa, Latin and North America, it
is also clear that there is now significant interest in gated
living in the European and East Asian urban context. The chapters
in this book investigate issues and communities such as: gated
communities in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, Argentina
planning responses to gated communities in Canada who segregates
whom? The analysis of a gated community in Mendoza, Argentina
sprawl and social segregation in southern California. These
illustrative chapters enable the reader to understand more about
the social and economic forces that have lead to gating, the ways
in which gated communities are managed, and their wider effects on
both residents and those living outside the gates. This book was
previously published as a special issue of the journal Housing
Studies.
