“…Therefore, the most common findings of the authors are that these trends in post-communist states are similar to those in developed capitalists states, but are realised with some delay due to the specifics of their socio-economic development -primarily, delay due to the socialist period. At the same time, in post-socialist states there are also a number of specific characteristics due to specific geographical and historical factors and, in this case too, mainly to the socialist legacy: the existing housing stock, economic processes, specific demographic trends and migration between urban, rural and mountain regions (Nedovic-Budic, 2001;Blinnikov et al, 2006, Slaev, 2012a.…”

“…Commentators have recorded the phenomenon across national contexts, under a diversity of denominations, all with contextual references and an emphasis on historical patterns of enclosures (Low, 2006;Bagaeen and Uduku, 2010): in Western Europe (Le Goix and Callen, 2010;Blandy, 2006;Raposo, 2006), in postcommunist Europe (Stoyanov and Frantz, 2006;Blinnikov et al, 2006;Cséfalvay, 2009), in the Arabian peninsula (Glasze and Alkhayyal, 2002), in Israël (Rosen andRazin, 2009), in China (Webster et al, 2006;Wu, 2005), in Southeast Asia and Australia (Kenna and Dunn, 2009), etc. Main motives have been identified, mainly hypothetical (Kenna and Dunn, 2009), although recent researches bring new empirical results (Cséfalvay and Webster, 2012).…”

Gated communities are enclosed residential subdivisions, privately operated under contractual agreements between homeowners, yielding an interlocking of access control, legal arrangements, and social interactions. Built as morphological enclaves with physical enclosures and security features, they are also designed to exclude others: property rights are implemented in property owners associations, the private governance structures regulating the selection of residents based on age, lifestyle, or social preferences. Gated neighborhoods are therefore viewed as securitization strategies for the subset of the public who seek comfort in social homogeneity.

“…In the last few years, the number of scientific reports about gated housing developments in Central and Eastern Europe has been rising slowly but steadily from Sofia (Stoyanov and Frantz 2006;Hirt 2012); Moscow (Blinnikov et al 2006;Lentz 2006); Budapest (Cséfalvay 2009); Bucharest (Negura 2009); Prague (Brabec and Sýkora 2009); Vilnius (Krupickaite and Pociūt_ e 2009); Berlin and Budapest (Bodnar and Molnar 2010); Belgrade (Hirt and Petrovic 2011); Warsaw (Chabowski 2007;Gąsior-Niemiec et al 2007;Gądecki 2007Gądecki , 2009Zaborska 2007;Mostowska 2009); Gdańsk (Polanska 2010a); Wrocław (Kajdanek 2009);and Łódź (Tobiasz-Lis 2011). The situation in Poland is particularly interesting since the capital itself is home to over 400 gated communities (Gądecki 2012), and the phenomenon's popularity has been observed in other cities all over the country such as Gdańsk, Gdynia, Płock, Bydgoszcz, Białystok, Katowice, Kraków, Radom, Poznań, and Olsztyn in the years 2003(Polanska 2010b.…”

The aim of this article is to investigate regulations regarding housing and spatial planning to determine the extent to which these have influenced the development of gated housing in Poland since 1989. The focus is on how government policy with regard to spatial planning and housing, together with the law on property and ownership, influences the emergence and development of gated forms of housing in the country. Legal regulation documents concerning issues of housing and spatial planning between 1990 and 2013 have been studied. The article argues that the liberal policies and legal regulation in the country is resulting in a disregard for spatial planning and housing, but also the lack of integrated urban policies. Existing spatial plans are of a consultative nature and bear no regulatory capacity, at the same time as housing programmes and spatial planning in the country is strongly in favor of private investors and new construction. All these shortcomings have created a differentiated housing market, one in which housing developers maximize their profits by constructing gated housing complexes, combined with a tendency among those who have the means to move to newly built housing behind gates. The long period of developer-friendly policies and governmental support of purchasers of new construction, have resulted in increased popularity of gated communities in Poland and their spread to many Polish cities.
