The Emergence of the Residential Gated Communities in Jordan
並列摘要
Gated Residential communities (GRC) are emerging style in several cities in the Middle East since 1990. The goal of this study is to analyze the styles of GRC's and the locations of their growth in Jordan. The study is based on information gathered from several newly built GRCs. Physical properties of GRCs are studied in details. The trends of developed GRCs show three major types. (i) Horizontal gated developments/gated villa towns, (ii) vertical gated developments and (iii) mixed type gated developments/gated towns. The results of our study demonstrate that gated communities have emerged in Jordan cities on peripheries and new suburbs. As lands on the GRC's out-skirts are suitable for large-volume housing outside the city, their proximity to metropolitan facilities and finally their prices make them suitable if not the best locations. Meanwhile, the expansion of gated communities puts pressure on natural environment.
