Definition

  • Gated communities are residential areas that privatize normally public spaces by restricting access to those spaces through the use of physical barriers, such as walled or fenced perimeters and gated or guarded entrances. They include both new housing developments and older residential areas retrofitted with barricades and fences. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Housing; Gated Community]
