Gated communities have been the largely studied due to their effect on urban development and the social dynamics around them. In recent years, efforts have focused on understanding how this model was replicated worldwide and the how it adapts to different local contexts. This is the case of Bogotá, where, in despite of new regulations trying to prevent the construction of enclaves inside the city, it continues to be the main housing typology under development. At the same time, Bogotá, like many of the cities in global south, grew largely through informal development, with self-built neighborhoods emerging in the peripheries and slowly being absorbed by the city.
