Delhi Housing Developments Highlight Social Divisions and Urban Design Challenges
Delhi's housing landscape reflects contrasting approaches to urban living. In Dwarka Greens, a DDA colony, a partially erected fence divides economically weaker section residents from low- and middle-income groups, sparking a dispute over shared community spaces. Meanwhile, across Delhi, new residential constructions follow a 2011 directive mandating stilt-based designs, leading to sealed, fortress-like homes that isolate residents from their environment, reflecting broader challenges in urban integration and design.
