A society is a business entity. They have some control over all houses in an area. Most societies are large. Hundreds or thousands of houses/buildings.
The administration of the society is usually done by the original developers. They decide how big the plots of land are, decide the rules houses must follow in their design. The houses themselves are built by the owners of the plots.
They society collects monthly fees typically. It is usually responsible for trash pickup. Richer societies will arrange water supply and even backup electricity plants. Larger societies create commercial areas and parks within their bounds as well.
They are not always gated as the parent states. Only the ones rich enough to hire security.
Thanks for the insights and apologies for the late reply. So it's somewhat similar to a development in the US - developer buys the land. But in this case, its the homeowner paying for and building the house vs the developer (like in the US).
