FUHRMANN, Magdalena. Preferences on gated communities as a urban model in the city of Warsaw. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.54, pp.263-278.  Epub July 30, 2020. ISSN 0120-6346.  https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v23n54a13.

Gated communities were one of the ways in which housing developed in Poland during the last decade of the XXth century and the first one of the XXI. Cities experienced a kind of blooming on this type of housing; nonetheless, nowadays, these type of housing have become irrelevant for urban planners, city authorities and residents. The objective of this article is presenting the results derived from a poll with a total number of 101 participants on their housing preferences in Warsaw, We conclude that the lack of interest on flats in gated communities corresponds to a matter of perception of prestige and social and economical progress among people.
