Reducing Boundaries : Understanding exclusion through security defensive systems in wealthy urban areas

The book gives account of the result of a four-year international project funded by European Research Agency. ‘Reducing Boundaries’ considers the way in which the upper-middle classes configure as a goal the preservation of their own security and the ensuing strategies they put in action in order to achieve it. Based on a cross-disciplinary approach, the project involved scholars in the fields of urban planning and design, visual design, sociology, administrative law, criminology, anthropology, photography.
