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.

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.

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.

"Across the nation, Americans are 2forting up3{u2014}retreating from their neighbors by locking themselves behind security-controlled walls, gates and barriers. This book studies the development and social impact of this phenomenon by exploring various gated communities and the reasons for their popularity. The authors examine the social, political and governance dilemmas posed when millions of Americans opt out of the local governance system by privatizing their environment.

In the last twenty years, thousands upon thousands of the upper and middle classes have retreated into gated communities. In 2002 it is estimated that one in eight Americans will live in these exclusive neighborhoods. What has sparked this alarming trend? Behind the Gates is Low's revealing account of what life is like inside these suburban fortresses. After years researching and interviewing families in Long Island, New York and San Antonio, Texas, Low provides an inside view of gated communities to help explain why people flee to these enclaves. Parents with children, young married couples, "empty-nesters," and retirees express their need for safety, their secret fears of a more ethnically diverse America, and their desire to recapture the close-knit, picket-fenced communities of their childhood. Ironically, she shows, gated neighborhoods are in fact no safer than other suburbs, and many who move there are disheartened by the insularity and restrictive rules of the community. Low probes the hopes, dreams, and fears of her subjects to portray the subtle change in American middle-class values marked by the emergence of enclosed communities in the suburbs.

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.

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.

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.
