About this ebook
Gated Communities explores the growing trend of security-controlled neighborhoods and their impact on urban areas, social equity, and community. Driven by a desire for security and exclusivity, these enclaves are reshaping cities, potentially intensifying social inequalities. Did you know that the rise of gated communities is not just a housing trend, but also reflects anxieties about crime and social disorder? The book argues that this segregation affects access to resources and opportunities, both within and outside these walls.
The book examines the historical context of residential segregation, analyzing the physical and socioeconomic impacts of gated communities, such as their effects on property values and infrastructure. It also delves into the political dimensions, revealing how local governance contributes to their creation and the challenges they pose to democratic ideals.
Using quantitative data, interviews, and case studies, the book offers a balanced perspective on the motivations behind gated living and their broader social and political implications, making it valuable for understanding inclusive urban planning and social cohesion.
