Abstract: The characteristic feature of „gated communities” in Cracow is the fact that they satisfy the needs of residents, that is individuality, security and contact with nature. Closed “gated communities” form enclaves with a typical kind of building system in the form of a nest. Residential buildings surround a common square and are situated in such a way that they form small courtyards, which are partially or almost completely closed. In this area the public space is concentrated, including playgrounds, squares, promenades, bicycle paths and parking places. The urban features of the „gated communities” include the modernity of buildings, a high standard of building equipment and high aesthetics. An essentially urban feature of the „gated communities” is the fact that the buildings erected in their areas have smaller cubic capacity than traditional urban buildings, with fewer apartments and commercial premises.
