Abstract: This research elaborates on a case study of how planned developments are massively produced in the Los Angeles metropolitan region and its margins. It aims at analyzing how actors interact and frame the suburban production contexts. Data used derive from a database of 2518 planned communities built after 1970 (proprietary data collected during field research), interviews conducted with local governments? planners, census data, and governmental agencies data. The production of planned developments is framed by a series of financial interaction and contracts and debts, yielding a high dependency between developers, local governments, special districts, property owners associations and, lastly, homeowners. Such a financialized system has been revealed by the foreclosure crisis, as it depends upon a shared belief in a constant growth of property values. Data show that this constant growth, in studied areas, is a rather uncertain outcome.
