The public spaces play a crucial part in providing quality life to its inhabitants. They provide a venue for social
interaction and community building allowing people to gather, engage in recreational activities, and interact
with one another. This helps to foster a sense of community and social cohesion which otherwise is missing
nowadays in modern society. Busy lives and hectic job schedules have caused a decline in community gathering.
This lies true especially for the case of metropolitan cities like Gurugram. This paper explorer the availability
and quality of public open spaces (POS) in the city of Gurugram. The paper is a focussed approach to enhance
the aesthetic appeal of cities along with promoting an impression of community and develop a connection with
nature, by studying the relevance of landscaping community spaces in earlier civic societies. The research is
conducted through thorough study of definitions of public spaces, history of such spaces in Indian context, best
case studies and examples of gathering spaces. The study concludes with highlighting the need of creating such
safe gathering public spaces in Gurugram hitherto neglected or overlooked.
