Description
Abstract During interviews about planning responses to gated communities in Canada, respondents initiated an unexpected discourse around national identity. The growing popularity of gated enclaves, a form that respondents generally associate with the USA, forced those interviewed to distance their own communities from the problems of crime they associate with American cities. The case illustrates the way in which practitioners may interpret local practice within an international context.
