After studying various tangible as well as non-tangible aspects a plausible site was selected. With the urge to expand further without realizing the lack of space available led to congestion and an ecological imbalance. Hence sustainable communities needed well-designed everyday spaces and places that are well managed, well serviced, safe and activated by different forms of economic, cultural and social exchange.

Urban voids are undesirable urban areas that are in need of redesign. To fill in such voids, a walkable grid acts as a standard, a rule against which any form can be compared. It provides an often invisible structural pattern representing perfect order. The grid represents a mastery of order over the chaotic natural world.
