 A constant notion of overlooking the existing logic or system and developing something that falls under the intransigent definition of physical development has been followed. This “planned infrastructure” seems to have lost sight of its effect on its genuine users, as well as its capacity to act as a multiplier of social equity. Thus, it becomes imperative for us to review the development and redefine these rigid connotations of infrastructure in our cities. Hence, here is an attempt to revisit and redefine “infrastructure” to view it in a more holistic manner rather than in fragmented facets of physical development. We propose to view the city as a ‘single infrastructure’.
