The gated and secure multiply in French cities, but not only because the phenomenon is global. These logical closure, filtering and access control have become very active in the habitat. They are now fully integrated by developers who design new residential, while the older housing complexes also tend to close. Safe design of this territory is not restricted to the habitat but also infuses the spaces allotted for economic or recreational activities, as illustrated in the malls.
