Privatised cities: share your experiences

From “public” spaces owned and regulated by corporations to gated communities and riverside spaces only accessible to a select few, our cities are becoming increasingly privatised.

We’d love to hear your experiences and see your examples of how cities around the world are becoming more private, exclusive and even hostile.

Share your photographs, videos and stories and we’ll collect the best on Guardian Cities. Just click on the blue ‘Contribute’ button, or if you’re out and about you can download the free GuardianWitness app for smartphones.

  • GuardianWitness is the home of user-generated content on the Guardian. Contribute your video, pictures and stories, and browse news, reviews and creations submitted by others. Posts will be reviewed prior to publication on GuardianWitness, and the best pieces will feature on the Guardian site.
