520 _aUses empirical evidence to profile the location and characteristics of gated development in England, details the relative integration of residents and attempts to look at the wider significance of the near 1 000 gated communities in England. Gated communities are seen as an extreme example of more common attempts by other social groups to insulate against perceived risk and unwanted encounters. Concludes that gated communities further extend contemporary urban segregatory tendencies and that policy responses are required to curtail the creation of such havens of social withdrawal.
