Gated Development Policy

In a 2005 report, the South African Human Rights Commission concluded that, although it did not find gating and road closures ordinarily unconstitutional, it did not support the use of such security measures, as amongst others it causes social division, dysfunctional cities and lead to further polarisation of society.

In context of the constitutional conflict between ‘freedom of movement’ and the ‘right to security’ as it manifests in gated communities and developments, this policy attempts to set out Council’s position on and approach to this phenomenon, which increasingly is becoming part of the city’s urban fabric and landscape.
