“…The second group of works was formed later based on the first one and is more regional in nature, as it is tied to the study of gated communities in specific places. Some studies focus on the processes of functioning of different types of communities marked by cultural and ethnic diversity and the assessment of their impact on the development of society and the material and spatial environment in general (Balčaitė & Krupickaitė, 2018). For example, K. Barrantes Chaves (2021) notes that gated communities, which are actively spreading in Latin America, have a negative impact.…”

“…This approach may weaken social cohesion and fragment the spatial structure of the city. The majority of previous researchers define gated communities as a form of social segregation, demonstrated in theory and with empirical evidence (Balčaitė & Krupickaitė 2018). Examples of Riga's newly built residential developments display different approaches to gating.…”

The residential environment plays a significant role in a city’s sustainable development. It should also contribute to inclusion and equality in the socio-cultural dimension. Each year in Riga, capital city of Latvia, new residential developments appear. Little is known about how these developments contribute to the overall goal of sustainability, especially in terms of inclusion and equality. This research focuses on several issues related to inclusion and equality in Riga’s 21st century residential developments, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of current trends as well as possible evolution. Theoretical methods include analysis of urban and architectural plans, legislation, strategies, development programmes and other documented sources. Empirical methods include field studies and the analysis of statistical and sociological data. The major findings indicate that the first steps towards sustainable urbanism have been taken. However, isolation, creation of gated communities, urban fragmentation and segregation have led to a mediocre situation in terms of inclusion and equality. The current situation should be improved in order to increase the quality of life of all citizens and to contribute to the goal of sustainable development.

The article considers the phenomenon of the positive perception of gated communities in Lviv, with an emphasis on historical aspects of urban planning. The research has shown that under certain conditions, the existence of gated communities is necessary and their popularity is justified. Therefore, it is necessary to develop mechanisms to avoid their negative consequences. In order to understand how closed communities function, and to identify natural trends in the development of this type of facility, their formation in other parts of Europe was analyzed. The results show that this approach is common for the living environment, but that it has its own characteristics at the level of formal expression and functional content. Form and location in the city structure are not essential for the formation of gated communities, with their effective functioning and logical connection with the external environment being more important. There is also a contradiction between the current situation, which is to ensure the physical security of the inhabitants, and the principles of sustainable urban development aimed at the concept of barrier-free space.
