With the sprawling nature of Indian cities suburban development is unavoidable. How often do these cities cater to the needs of the people is something to anticipate. As, making people centric cities come along with a lot of parameters. The Precinct is located in the city of Pune on the suburban edge. It has developed in to a prominent locality as a residential hub. The suburbs are often associated with comfortable lifestyle.
