Urban spaces are known to form a point of view about a city in a person’s mind. A complete image of urban space is resultant of both the activities taking place at that place and the enclosed space built from like massing, form facades and character of buildings. Although urban spaces and its buildings in any city does not coveys the main sense of the area, it forms a poor aesthetic and visual quality. They lack strong architectural character with which they can be associated. This requires a deep study into the various aspects of aesthetics of urban space.
