This book presents a paradigm shift for gated communities research.
Based on contemporary studies from international authors, the
chapters suggest that the debate should move away from the hard
concept of a gated community to the more fluid one of urban gating.
The latter allows communities to be viewed through a new lens of
soft boundaries, modern communication and networks of influence.
The book builds on the research of Bagaeen and Uduku's previous
edited publication, Gated Communities (Routledge 2010) and relates
recent events to trends in urban research, showing how the
discussion has moved from privatised to newly collectivised spaces,
which have been the focal point for events such as the Occupy
London movement and the Arab Spring. Communities are now more
mobilised and connected than ever, and Beyond Gated Communities
shows how neighbourhoods can become part of a global network beyond
their own gates. With chapters on Australia, Canada, Europe, South
America, Asia and the Middle East, this is a truly international
resource for scholars and students of urban studies interested in
this dynamic, growing area of research.
