Beyond Gated Communities
Editat de Samer Bagaeen, Ola Udukuen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2015
The book, written by an international team of experts, builds on the research of Bagaeen and Uduku’s previous edited publication, Gated Communities (Routledge 2010) and relates recent events to trends in urban research, showing how the discussion has moved from privatised to newly collectivised spaces, which have been the focal point for events such as the Occupy London movement and the Arab Spring.
Communities are now more mobilised and connected than ever, and Beyond Gated Communities shows how neighbourhoods can become part of a global network beyond their own gates. With chapters on Australia, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, this is a truly international resource for scholars and students of urban studies interested in this dynamic, growing area of research.

Recenzii
"In Beyond Gated Communities, the crux of ‘gating’ is expressed through themes of: club theory; inclusion and exclusion; power, structure, processes and social relations; and pseudo gating. The concept of urban gating takes the reader away from the usual construct of a gated community. This stretches the boundaries into new territories of mobile movements, modern communication, power networks that influence and jurisdictional compromise. The research identifies how neighbourhoods, whether physically or psychologically gated, can contribute to global networks beyond their own gates. Through consideration of the five proposed lenses, Beyond Gated Communities soundly identifies and extends the essence of gating allowing the reader to engage with new understandings of the metastasising phenomena of ‘gating’." – Housing Studies, Erika Altmann, University of Tasmania, Australia

Shows how gated communities should be viewed through a new lens of soft boundaries, modern communication and networks of influence.
