Rationale
Gated communities are private neighbourhoods where access is controlled by private security guards, and are enclosed by walls and fences around their perimeter. They usually consist of upper class residential areas with several amenities such as golf courses, marinas, sport facilities and private schools. They can also include sometimes small markets and shops that make them independent from the nearest cities.
The number of gated communities has grown worldwide in recent years. In countries such as Brazil or Argentina, these neighbourhoods have experienced an "explosive" growth during the last 15 years, and now are often considered as important points of reference.

You don't need to go through all this voting stuff, the process is broken. Just discuss the tag if you want to, then use the results of the discussion as tag(s). Chillly 21:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Date already changed. Chango640 19:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- I oppose this proposal. Gorm 17:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC) barrier=fence, access=private, landuse=residential etc. will do.
- I approve this proposal. Arno Yes, because the access is usually restricted, quite different from residential only. This means you cannot route through the community even if it has got entries at several sides. So in my opinion it should have its own tag. In addition, people tend to know the places by the gated community name even if there are more correct suburb names that they "should" use.
- I oppose this proposal. --FrViPofm 23:11, 8 October 2010 (BST) See Gorm
- I oppose this proposal. --Lulu-Ann 10:17, 12 October 2010 (BST) gated_community=yes would be OK for me, but this is not a landuse.
- I oppose this proposal. --Sergionaranja 18:28, 12 October 2010 (BST) barrier=fence, access=private, landuse=residential etc. will do.
- I oppose this proposal. ----Deltabrasil 22:54, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Same reason as Sergionaranja - The facilities of that communities can be tagged seperately, too (e.g. leisure=pitch, sport=* combines with access=private). We got the same type here in Brazil, i usualy tag them as above and do not see a reason for that new tag.
- I have comments but abstain from voting on this proposal. IMHO barrier=fence, access=private, landuse=residential will not do it, a gated community is characterized by more. But gated_community=yes will do it. --Dieterdreist 15:26, 30 August 2011 (BST)
- I oppose this proposal. This is not a landuse. gated_community=yes is better. --Lulu-Ann 14:49, 2 September 2011 (BST)
