Abstract: Abstract Modern communities emphasize greenness, openness, and sharing. However, gated communities built in China in recent years have negative impact for both the community and the city. Both the internal operation of the gated communities and the external operation of the city have good facilities and layouts, but the overall operation is inconvenient. The function transformation between the community and the city and the interaction between residents are insufficient. Based on the perspective of the system theory and the criticism of the new urbanism theory, this paper proposes the research aim in the driving factors and mechanisms that affect the open connection between the community and the city. This paper also proposes a theoretical hypothesis that the interaction of residents in space and the transformation of spatial multifunctionality are the driving forces for the open connection between the community and the city. Social inclusiveness and spatial multifunctionality are the key driving factors. Through case studies, the transformation mechanism and path are reversed. China's gated communities need the integration of spatial multifunctionality and social inclusiveness to drive the open connection between the community and the city.
