Gated and Common Interest Communities in Canada:
Retirement Villages, CIDs, and the Evolving Ecology of Privatization
Ivan TownshendDept. of Geography
University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
The Privatization of Urban Space, New Orleans, Feb26-28, 2004
Outline• Private communities and gated communities in Canada:
– Problems of definition, enumeration, scale, perception.– Private or Not? Gated or Not?“
• Explicit vs. Implicit gating (function and intent)– Retirement villages: the dominant spatial expression of private
communities.• Conceptualizing RVs / GCs as part of an evolving urban social
ecology of nested and hierarchical privatization.– Preliminary case study of Calgary:
• 1960s/1970s: recreational community developments (PUDs) set the stage for privatization (CIDs, HOAs etc.)
• 1980s /1990s: Flourishing of CIDs and HOAs – RVs as “private” nesting in “public” communities– RVs as “private” nesting in ”private” communities
• Post 1990s: innovation, differentiation, club realms, intangible privatization, and spatial intensification
• Conclusion: Hemming in the public city by the private city.– Do we need to rethink models of the social ecology of the city?
Problems of definition, enumeration, scale, perceptionGrant 2003. “As soon as we began the work we ran into difficulty with the term “gated”. We discovered quickly that planners do not share consensus on the meaning of “gated”.
Iterative attempts at definition:
“Gated communities are multi-unit housing developments surrounded by fences, walls or other barriers, and with streets that are not open to general traffic.”
“Gated communities are multi-unit housing developments with private roads that are not open to general traffic because they have a gate across the primary access. These developments may be surrounded by fences, walls or other natural barriers that further limit public access.”
“Gated communities are housing developments on private roads that are closed to general traffic by a gate across the primary access. These developments may be surrounded by fences, walls or other natural barriers that further limit public access.“
we still found that planners often used the term gated communityto include walled projects with open street access.
When the gate is left in open position most of the time, we still consider the community gated.

“where entry to the development is or can be restricted by gates across roadways”
Problems of definition, enumeration, scale, perception
• Enumeration is Difficult:– Local Planners don’t know!.– Conceptual fuzziness in definitions.– Little / no planning or land use legislation on gating.– Estimated undercounting by factor of 3– The problem may be too dynamic to enumerate
• Scale:– Planners can’t decide when it’s a “condo” development or a
“community”….threshold problem.• Perception:
– Physically gated and ungated often perceived as the same thing– Completely walled vs partially walled– Vehicular access vs pedestrian access– Open vs closed gates? Perceived and enumerated as gated by
functionally ungated• Order out of chaos? Towards a Typology.

• Townshend 1997, 1999, 2002 etc.– Commodification of safety, community, well-being, social
homogeneity, fulfillment etc.• Grant 2003:
– Of 257 projects:• 10 have guards• 11 use security video surveillance
– “Our investigations to date DO NOT lead us to believe that Canadian gated projects are primarily about security…”
Security is not the key engine of growth
The crux of the confusion…• Explicit gating vs. implicit gating vs. private space vs.
public space– Explicit gating apparatus is not the same as functional
gating apparatus– Implicit / symbolic gating may be sufficient in Canadian
society:• Effectively achieves the desired “gating”
objective of privatization of space through territorial markers:
– signage– entrance columns (faux gates)– privacy warnings, etc.
“Gating” in Canada is generally simplistic, implicit, symbolic (pomerium)
Dysfunctional explicit gating:Calgary, The Mansions at Prominence Pointe
Dysfunctional explicit gating:Lethbridge, Medican development
Dysfunctional explicit gating:Lethbridge, Fairmount Park Villas
Dysfunctional explicit gating:Lethbridge, Parkridge Estates (mobile homes)
Implicit / symbolic gating:Calgary, The Lake at Heritage Pointe
Implicit / symbolic gating:Calgary, Heritage Pointe (Golf Course)
Implicit / symbolic gating:Lethbridge, Southmeadow Villas
Implicit / symbolic gating:Calgary, Lake Chaparral Village
Implicit / symbolic gating:Calgary, Indian Bluffs (Patterson)
The explicit / implicit problem is not unique to Canada.
Aalbers (2003):
Of American cities:….”though the image of the gated communities is one in which a high solid wall is interrupted by a single gate that is heavily guarded, most walls are not that solid, are interrupted by various gates, or are not even completely walled”.
Of the Netherlands: “On a more abstract level of analysis we could say many communities are gated but not in a physical way”.
• Explicitly and implicitly gated communities are functionally similar.– Effectively create desired “separation” / exclusion
• Same type of “sod-off” architecture • Create “seams of partition” (Atkinson and Flint 2003)
– Limit / control vehicular access (private road network, infrastructure)
– Aim to create a sense of security, community, etc.– Are commodified by developers– Provide similar club realm (CID features, restrictive
covenants etc.)
• Townshend 1994, 1999, 2002 etc.• Grant 2003:
– The vast majority [of GCs] are oriented towards the “active elderly” (Third Age)
• RVs (GCs) need to be considered within the broader evolution of the privatization of space in Canadian cities
“Mature Adult” , “Third Age”, RVs, are the dominant form
of private / gated communities in Canada
Conceptualizing RVs / GCs as part of an evolving urban social ecology of nested and hierarchical privatization.
– Preliminary case study of Calgary:• Calgary is a city of “communities”• The 1960s / 70s “public” community• Late 1960s/1970s: recreational community
developments (PUDs) set the stage for privatization (CIDs, HOAs etc.)
• 1980s /1990s: Flourishing of CIDs and HOAs – RVs as “private” nesting in “public” communities– RVs as “private” nesting in ”private” communities
• Post 1990s: innovation, differentiation, club realms, intangible privatization, and spatial intensification

Post 1990s: innovation, differentiation, club realms, intangible
privatization, and spatial intensification
• Emergence of new “thematic” forms of CID.– Environment– E-Communities– Minor recreation amenity (ponds etc.)– New Urbanism themes etc.
• Growing importance of “Resident Club” as the (organizing basis for new thematic CID focus).
• “Intangible” privatization?• Almost universal CID / HOA in all new subdivisions• Continuation of private RVs as nested 2nd tier .
