The idea for the township design began with a thought of achieving a life where people enjoy the intimacy of the physical and social environment. Inspired by the traditional towns and their lifestyles, the idea got strengthened with achievable characteristics like walkable neighborhood, pedestrian friendly streets, mixed use culture, etc. which would make the township vibrant and allow people to have opportunities for face-to-face interaction time. Thus, to encourage social interaction at each level, the proposal aimed at tapping the site opportunities and strategically infusing social spaces in the form of nodes, pedestrian-friendly streets, public squares and the green loop.

Changing dynamics of living patterns helped realize the importance of bringing back traditional living patterns.
