Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Fortress uk? gated communities, the spatial revolt of the elites and time–space trajectories of segregation" ?
The authors have tried to link these patterns to a reconceptualisation of residential space which extends beyond gated communities in which the attempt to create shielded or ‘ secessionary ’ spaces of withdrawal has allowed affluent households to appear as though they have almost disappeared from the public realm in many cities. If this premise can be accepted then the idea of dynamic patterns of separation and disaffiliation may be seen as even more intransigent social problems that require further research and analysis. In drawing on the theoretical work of several writers the authors have tried to develop a conceptualisation of residential geography which encompasses social distinction and segregation as an extended movement across time-space. In short, these attempts at social extraction strike a chord with wider attempts at security by middle income groups while gated communities suggest these processes in extremis.
