Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The current spike of migratory movement of people from
rural to urban settlements is building a future scenario of population
compaction and leading to an increase in the densification of the
urban populace. Due to the upsurge of land rates, cost becomes
the most crucial criteria for choosing homes in the era of rapid
urbanization. This fast-growing process has resulted in the
settlements of multi-cultural communities making people with
different cultures and lifestyles settle together. This diversification
gives rise to the problem of social and cultural differences which
makes the society as a whole divided into small groups which reduces
the social participation of people towards development. The agenda
of sustainable development needs the hands of action which are
achieved by initially making a community socially stable. Architecture
plays a major role in affecting the life and behavior of users daily
which makes it one of the important tools in accomplishing the
overall sustainability of society. This paper discusses the relation of
social sustainability to architecture and focuses on listing the design
criteria required to measure and develop the social environment.
