Gated communities good for renewal
- 2004
- University of Westminster Press Release 22 June 2004 (4) .
Research by the University of Westminster has found that gated communities can help social inclusion, improve the local environment and assist urban renewal, contrasting with the prevalent view that they increase segregation and increase the gap between the rich and the poor. The paper uses the theory of club goods to understand gating as a response by groups of people to real and perceived issues of crime, vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
