Cities have been famously known through their architecture, and the construction of a city over time. Therefore, the built fabric. The post globalisation era points out the obvious stylistic schism that has shaped our surroundings today. A monoculture has been created through this process that has now become the public image of the city, a physical reshaping of the environment is required in order to provide more choices to the citizens in terms of housing, open spaces, and transit network, in order to eliminate the ‘black or white’ situation which lets you access the city only when you can afford to do so. Striking a balance between the nature of options available, ranging from variety in commercial setups to socio-cultural spaces, for one to create a healthy lifestyle in a city irrespective of their social or economic background is a necessity.
