ABSTRACT
In its modern form, a gated community (or walled community) is a form of residential
community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians,
bicycles, and automobiles, and often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and
fences. Gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various
shared amenities. For smaller communities this may be only a park or other common
area. For larger communities, it may be possible for residents to stay within the
community for most daily activities. Gated communities are a type of common interest
development, but are distinct from intentional communities.

1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Given that gated communities are spatially a type of enclave, Setha M. Low, among other
anthropologists, has argued that they have a negative effect on the net social capital of
the broader community outside the gated community. Some gated communities, usually
called guard-gated communities, are staffed by private security guards and are often
home to high-value properties, and/or are set up as retirement villages. Some gated
communities are secure enough to resemble fortresses and are intended as such.
2. METHODS OF ANALYSIS:
3. CONCLUSION:
In India, many gated communities are being developed like the Aamby Valley City and
Lavasa City in Maharashtra occupying 100 km squares of area. Now gated communities
are being built in Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore by a lot of real estate developers. In
Bangalore 3 locations are having community living those are Bannerghatta, Hebbal and
villas in Devanahalli. Thus its an emerging feature in any developed city.

1. INTRODUCTION
In its modern form, a gated community (or walled community) is a form of residential
community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians,
bicycles and automobiles and often characterised by a closed perimeter of walls and
fences. Gated communities usually consist of small residential streets and include various
shared amenities. For similar communities this may be only a park or other common area.
For larger communities, it may be possible for residents to stay within the community
for most daily activities. Gated communities are type of common interest development,
but are distinct from intentional communities.
Benefits:
The aim of thesis is to create an integrated community which is interactive, barrier free,
secured, climate responsive, innovative and peaceful. To use modern advancement of
passive energy techniques in design.
14
Analyzing techniques to reduce energy consumption and to do energy
efficient design from grass root level
Adopting Barrier – Free Techniques
Understanding the concept of affordability and design.
Planning a smart community – residential development with all
amenities.
Adopting techniques to blend commercial, recreational and
institutional areas making it “Self – Contained Development”
Design in harmony with nature.
Thus this GATED COMMUNITY will consist of:
Residential Buildings
Commercial Centres
Recreation And Sports Facilities
Library
Gymnasium
Meditation Centre
Creche And Other Facilities
Clinic
Outdoor Play Area
Parks
Pedestrian Walkways, Cycle And Jogging Tracks

1.5 METHODOLOGY
16
The Fig. 2 shows the methodology for this study. This methodology chart explains the
first step, about the general information of Gated Community planning. This includes the
components of Gated Community, definition and its services. The next step is the study
of Gated community planning and design from various case studies. Then the detail study
is made for each aspects through different live case studies. Finally, the concept for the
design is evolved, and progressed towards developing the design.

1.6 THE SITE
LOCATION
• Maraimalai Nagar and its surrounding areas are referred to as "New Chennai" by
the media due to recent industrial development around this area.
• The Ford India and BMW car factories is located within a mile of Maraimalai
Nagar and the Indian software giant Infosys also has an office within eight kilometres of
Maraimalai Nagar.
• CMDA has developed both residential and industrial layouts in about 1200 acres.

GATED COMMUNITY AT MARAIMALAI NAGAR
Various Industeies and companies like Ford, BMW, and Infosys nearby.
Government proposal for Industries at MM Nagar over 250 acres – thus
residential area for people working in these sectors.
Potential real estate sites nearby. Eg. Mahindhra World City, Oragadam,
Guduvancherry, Vandalur.
High potential for students to occupy, Since SRM University, Post Graduate
Research Institute in Animal Sciences, VIT University etc., are at proximity.

The basic design considerations for a Gated community building include the following
parameters:
The cultural, political, and social aspects of the city where the building will be
located
A strong relationship with the city
The master plan and appropriate site elevation
Sustainability
Safety and security issues
Learning about the possibilities and limitations of technology
“In India though several GATED COMMUNITY exists in different cities, its in the
decade beginning with the year 2000, it took off in a big way. The sudden spurt in GDP
growth created millionaires across the cities and with the country developing fast,
thousands of Non Resident Indians, found it attractive to return to India. Their demand
for security, cleanliness and amenities triggered demand for homes in gated community
complexes.
21
Builders too sensed a great opportunity, thus India has a string of superbly built and
maintained gated communities in all major cities and hundreds being added every year”
People living in Gated Communities afford to buy a house even at a greater price than
other residential development, considering its quality. Thus the Standard of Living should
not be compromised.

Charles Correa’s 28 storeyed ‘Kanchanjunga Apartment’ 441 SQ.M of footprint in
Mumbai elaborates his penchant for sectional displacement appropriately accompanied
by changes in floor surface. Here he pushed his capacity for ingenious cellular planning
to the limit. A great combination of interlocking one and a half storey, splitlevel, 3 and 4
bedroom units with the two and half storey 5 and 6 bedroom units can be seen
successfully attempted in a high rise building creating 32 luxurious apartments. The main
ideas key features:
• Site and situation: City landscape surrounded by mid-rise and high-rise structures.
• The apartment himself is a direct response to the present society, the escalating
urbanization, and the climatic conditions for the region.
• One and two floor height terrace gardens in each flat alike to the protective verandas in
bungalow.
• The typical open floor plans with double heighted living room for cross-ventilation.
• Best views of Arabian Sea on west just 450 m away and the harbour on the east.

For the ever growing cities the construction of gated communities ensures the secured
feeling. And also due to the increased population new gated communities are in
demand. So, this is the high time to look forward to restore the nature and bring back it
into the built environment. As we know that there is enormous benefits of plants, along
with potential ways of incorporating technologies to integrate them in the building
envelope. Natural elements can be used widely in design, Passive ventilation
techniques are very good for Chennai climate. Thus we can have a better environment
as well as a better future for our next generation.
