Abstract

In traditional cities, the forces of separation and those of cohesion (for the benefits of safety, participation and provision) are balanced within small spatial units, creating complex environments. Contemporary, mobile societies also develop such textures of interdependence, but their spatial extension is much larger. Abstract and technical means are applied to guarantee the symbiotic connections, without, however, depending on physical proximity. Living together is being avoided.

Common-Interest Community (CIC): In the USA, this is a legal format for residential estates with many owners (also: Homeowner Associations). Often and without special mention, the common interest is constituted by the exclusion of certain persons. The less harmful communities are those which accept only persons without children or retired persons only. A widespread criterion, which is has also been legally tested, is the proof of adherence to homeowner associations during the past 40 years. See McKenzie (1994).
