Summary

Fortress America takes a look at the trend toward gated communities and examines suburban and urban neighborhood sociology. This debate has intensified since the hard cover edition of this book was published in 1997. Since then the number of gated communities has risen dramatically, while opposition to the phenomena has also increased.
