Abstract
Gating and Syntactical Analysis of Spatial Configuration of Sectors of Gurgaon (Gurugram), India
Highlights
Since the beginning of human civilisation, cities have been developing rapidly
Expanding population in the cities gives rise to the need of more accommodation and work space, which in turn leads to an increase in development activities
The contemporary cities stretch beyond their physical limits and the signs of growth are manifested in the form of vertical development towering over the low rise neighbouring buildings
Summary
Since the beginning of human civilisation, cities have been developing rapidly. According to United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) 2007 report, by 2008, for the first time, more than half of the globe's population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in towns and cities (UNFPA, 2007). The important syntactical measures of spatial configuration of an axial map are depth connectivity, global and local integration, intelligibility and synergy (Long, 2007). It can be defined as the smallest number of syntactic steps topologically that are needed to reach one space from another or from one axis to the other. The relation between connectivity of space and its global integration leads to the understanding of the spatial configuration from the point of view of its constituent parts. According to Hillier, if the dots or points in the scattergram form a straight line rising at 45 degree from bottom left to top right and the dots fit close to the line, this implies a good correlation between local and global integration.
