Srikanth Sakleshpur Venkatesh

Abstract :

 The urban built environment in Bangalore facilitates social connectedness among various social and economic groups. An amalgamation of facilities both for the youth and adult population of different backgrounds increase social connectedness among them. The nature of space where neighbors connect are diverse, depending on the socio–economic group. The implication of such environments is that it promotes healthier and viant communities within and outside these social and economic groups. As a consequence of this sense of contentment within the groups, there is a healthy networking across communities, and an openness to imbibe best practices from each other.
