Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Wohnen, Stadtsoziologie, Note: gut, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Veranstaltung: "Metropolen - Megacities", Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Einleitung Besonders in den Vereinigten Staaten hat sich in den letzten Dekaden zunehmend der Massentrend entwickelt, dass viele Amerikaner "in einer bewachten Wohnanlage leben und sich vor der gefühlten Gefahr einer Gesellschaft schützen, die immer weiter auseinanderdriftet". Die privaten, geschlossenen Wohnsiedlungen sind in den USA kein gänzlich neuartiges Phänomen, wenn man bedenkt, dass schon der Erfinder der elektrischen Glühlampe, Thomas Edison, vor mehr als 100 Jahren in einer Art Gated Community lebte. Heutzutage zieht es jedoch nicht mehr nur die Oberschicht aus dem typischen Wohnumfeld heraus, sondern immer mehr Amerikaner träumen von so einem sicheren Wohnraum, in welchem sie sich geborgen fühlen und unter Gleichgesinnten leben. Es handelt sich hier um eine freiwillige Art von Segregation, welche den vorhandenen Lebensraum in sichere und scheinbar unsichere bzw. gefährliche Regionen unterteilt. Diese "Privatisierung des öffentlichen Lebensraumes" sowie die damit verbundene implizierte Ausgrenzung von bestimmten Bevölkerungsteilen führt im öffentlichen Diskurs häufig zu einer vehementen Kritik an solchen Gated Communities, da sie durch das isolierte Nebeneinanderleben der verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen der Integration der Gesellschaft den Rücken kehrt. Das Leben hinter Mauern und Zäunen ist also in der Gesellschaft sehr umstritten, daher lohnt sich eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Thematik, um sowohl die theoretischen Aspekte des Siedlungstyps, als auch ihre Auswirkungen in der Gesellschaft kennen zu lernen.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,0, University of Mannheim, course: Stadtökonomie, language: English, abstract: International visitors, rising crime, and increasing economic class differences in the growing cities are not only an American issue. France, England, Switzerland, South Africa, Australia, and Sweden are only a few among the countries worldwide which are concerned with gated communities. But since gated communities are a typical form of suburban living and suburbia is rooted in the United States I want to focus on this country. Different forms of gated communities are spreading rapidly. In the suburbs, as well as in inner-cities, but also as entirely new cities the spaces they characterize are larger and larger and also the life of more and more people. What had so far only been known from mega cities of the Third World or as a phenomenon of the apartheid in South Africa, is common anywhere today. Historically, spatially separated communities are actually nothing new in Europe or the US. Even in the middle ages monasteries and castles served as separation, and Tuxedo Park in New York was already fenced in 1885. However, the current development in the USA is new in terms of its variation and quantity and is therefore a relevant subject to research for urban studies. Gated communities and their origin, development and spreading are a topic on which only little research has been conducted so far. In the past 15 years the boom of fenced neighborhoods in the United States has not only caused a dramatic change in American city landscapes, but has at the same time contributed to the development of a new, suburban society which deliberately wants to separate itself from the city, i.e. public life. Due to the decreasing quality of public service in many cities in the USA an alternative, private form of local government has established alongside the gated communities; often it has already substituted public communities in their function. With regard to these fundamental changes, it is astonishing that the matter of closed settlements has so far been subject to research only to a small extent. Studies, which deal with gated communities with regard to segregation of society and the fragmentation of the city connected to this, have only been carried out for few years.

Gated communities are a new "hot button" in many North American cities. From Boston to Los Angeles and from Miami to Toronto citizens are taking sides in the debate over whether any neighborhood should be walled and gated, preventing intrusion or inspection by outsiders. This debate has intensified since the hard cover edition of this book was published in 1997. Since then the number of gated communities has risen dramatically. In fact, new homes in over 40 percent of planned developments are gated n the West, the South, and southeastern parts of the United States. Opposition to this phenomenon is growing too. In the small and relatively homogenous town of Worcester, Massachusetts, a band of college students from Brown University and the University of Chicago picketed the Wexford Village in November of 1998 waving placards that read "Gates Divide." These students are symbolic of a much larger wave of citizens asking questions about the need for and the social values of gates that divide one portion of a community from another.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Individuum, Gruppe, Gesellschaft, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Heilbronn, ehem. Fachhochschule Heilbronn, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gated Communities. In den USA sehr verbreitet in Deutschland erst am Kommen. Diese Art des Wohnens, ist Deutschland noch recht wenig verbreitet. Erst wenige Gated Communities konnten sich in Deutschland durchsetzen. Den USA wird in diesem Bereich eine Vorreiterrolle zugeschrieben, da sich dort sehr viele Gated Communities befinden und ein vergleichsweise hoher Anteil der Bevölkerung in solchen lebt. Aber auch in anderen Ländern der Welt entwickeln sich mehr und mehr Wohngebiete dieser Art.

Vielmehr soll aufgezeigt werden, wie sich Gated Communities in den USA von ihrem Ursprung aus bis heute hin entwickelt haben und welche gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen möglicherweise dazu beigetragen haben könnten. Daher widmet sich der Hauptteil der Arbeit dem historischen Aspekt geschlossener Wohnkomplexe und der Frage, inwiefern gesellschaftlichen Kontexte zur Entwicklung von Gated Communities beigetragen haben.

Today, gated communities abound in our nation. But what was it like living in one 100 years ago? Author Arnold Rosen describes life in New York?s first gated community (the gate was erected in 1898) in his book, SEA GATE REMEMBERED. As the pages turn, this book tours you through the generation?s coming of age in the 1930?s and 40s—the games we played, the stores we shopped, the schools we attended and the somber war years. So much of the many privacies beyond the gate are revealed by the author and ex-Sea Gaters who spent their youthful years beyond the wired fences at the southwestern tip of Brooklyn walled off from Coney Island next door and extending to the rest of North America. Arnold Rosen, author of twenty books on computers and office technology, grew up in Sea Gate where his father owned and operated sideshows and amusement rides beyond the fence in Coney Island. Now professor emeritus at Nassau Community College, Rosen graduated with a BS degree from Ohio State University an an MS degree from Hunter College after serving in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. The author lived in Sea Gate from 1932 to 1952 and now has come ?full circle" to retire in another gated community—Sun City—Hilton Head, South Carolina.

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.

Gated Communities provides a historic, socio-political and contemporary cultural perspective of gated communities. In doing so it offers a different lens through which to view the historical vernacular background of this now global phenomenon. The book presents a collection of new writing on the issue by an international and interdisciplinary group of contributors. The authors review current thinking on gated communities and consider the sustainability issues that these contemporary 'lifestyle' communities raise. The authors argue that there are links that can be drawn between the historic gated homesteads and cities, found in much of the world, and today's Western-style secure complexes. Global examples of gated communities, and their historical context, are presented throughout the book. The authors also comment on how sustainability issues have impacted on these communities. The book concludes by considering how the historic measures up with the contemporary in terms of sustainability function, and aesthetic.

The U.S. city is undergoing constant change. In the East and Midwest, most cities were founded as trading posts on waterways. They boomed during the industrial era and reached their population peak in the mid-20th century, before suburbanization and deindustrialization caused them to decline in importance. Traces of decay were everywhere, and the prognosis for the future was conceivably poor. As Barbara Hahn shows in her book, this trend now seems to have been broken: Things are looking up again for the US city. Some of the former industrial cities have succeeded in structural change. In the south and west of the country, cities have developed into new growth centers. However, not all cities are benefiting from this positive development, and many continue to shrink at an alarming rate. As the author points out, similar processes such as neoliberalisation, deregulation, privatisation and gentrification can be observed in all cities, regardless of their location and level of development. Due to the large number of didactically prepared graphics, the book is suitable as a study read for students and scholars. The characteristics of the U.S. city, which are elaborated on the basis of current examples, as well as the illustrative photos also illustrate the change of the U.S. city to the interested reader.

In this trenchant analysis of American society, Thomas Naylor and William Willimon take an unabashed stance against the belief that "bigger is better" and contend that there is a price to be paid for our uncritical affirmation of bigness.
