作者分析了文化，经济和政治背景的新的封闭式住宅小区在阿拉伯世界的援助，在黎巴嫩和利雅得的案例研究。他们的问题是，这些发展在多大程度上代表了许多老城区支离破碎的定居模式的再现。一方面，在利雅得，几栋别墅和公用设施组成的新大院为大家庭提供了住房，这可能被解释为老城区某些社会空间环境的复兴，在老城区，大家庭往往共用一个庭院。在沙特阿拉伯的西方外国人的化合物遵循不同文化和宗教背景的社会群体的空间隔离原则-阿拉伯世界许多古老城镇的社会空间组织原则。另一方面，黎巴嫩封闭式住宅区的出现有着明显而具体的世纪社会政治根源。公共管制和供应的失败造成了一个缺口，私营部门部分填补了这个缺口。对于大多数富有的客户来说，封闭式住宅区为全国性的问题提供了私人的小规模解决方案。
The authors analyze the cultural, economic, and political background of new gated housing estates in the Arab world with the aid of case studies in Lebanon and Riyadh. Their question is to what extent these developments represent a reappearance of the fragmented settlement patterns in many of the old towns. On the one hand, new compounds of several villas and common facilities housing extended families in Riyadh may be interpreted as a revival of certain sociospatial settings in the old town, in which extended families often shared a common courtyard. The compounds for Western foreigners in Saudi Arabia follow the principle of spatial seclusion of social groups with different cultural and religious backgrounds—a principle of the sociospatial organization of many old towns in the Arab world. The emergence of gated housing estates in Lebanon, on the other hand, has obvious and specific sociopolitical origins in the 20th century. The failure of public regimentation and provision created a gap, which was partially filled by the private sector. For their mostly wealthy clientele, gated housing estates offer private small-scale solutions to nationwide problems.
