Gated Communities [PDF ebook] 
Social Sustainability in Contemporary and Historical Gated Developments

Supporto

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.
