A city is an amalgamation of various tangible and intangible layers. The tangible layers are land use, building use, streets, public space, infrastructure, housing, etc and the intangible layers are jobs, housing, and travel patterns, etc. To explore this complex relationship of layers, a study has been done for an area of 1 sq. km. in the Okhla area of Delhi. These aspects are studied in detail via primary and secondary sources. Finally, the relationship between all these parameters was established for further analysis.
