Overview

Qualitative analysis highlights spatial inequality and social fragmentation in gated communities in Jordan and beyond.

Key Points

  • Gated communities heighten spatial fragmentation and disconnect from the urban fabric, impacting social dynamics.
  • Findings indicate that the prevalence of gated developments has weakened strategic urban planning across the region.
  • Thematic analysis from expert interviews sheds light on the socio-spatial impacts of gated living in contemporary urbanism.
  • Calls for inclusive urban policies emphasize balancing private development with public planning to foster cohesion.
