The paper speaks of the recent seminar «Latinoamérica: países abiertos, ciudades cerradas /Latin America:
Wide open Countries with Cities enclosed» recently held in Guadalajara (Mexico) and given over exclusively
to the subject of enclosed or walled in estates. The papers there read dealt with six countries(Mexico,
Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela) and over twenty cities (Sao Paolo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires,
Santiago de Chile, Quito, Lima, Guadalajara, Puebla, Rosario, Hermosillo, Maricaibo, Toluca, Sorocaba,
Uberlândia, Pelotas y Presidente Prudente). The aim was to discover the features of this now universal
phenomenon when it is found in Latin America and centred in upon two of these, namely their exaggerated
seeking for privacy by means of walling themselves in and off, this and the worlds and life styles that have
then developed within them. Both features bespeak two tendencies proper to territory thus developed
namely a knock-on shrinkage on public living space and the growth of selfishness as among citizens. The
paper also aims to set forth a digest of the characteristics and typology proper to each country and metropolitan
area and then underline all that thought they share or are generally perceived as having in common.
