A community is more than just a group of buildings. It is rather a group of individuals and families living in a particular locality because of common interests and needs. Buildings only serve the interests of these people.
Considering the growth of population and the physical and aesthetic inadequacy of most communities, their improvement and the design of new communities are of great importance today. Smog, overcrowded dwellings, and insurmountable traffic problems have made city living a nerve- wracking experience for many of us. And overcrowded and blighted areas have spawned a host of social problems, ranging from health problems to criminality. Dwelling in slums seems to foster undesirable patterns of behavior. The traditional design of communities was ordered around a focal point.
