Through speedy growth of towns as a offspring of modernization and urbanization, populations have tended to pick city areas as their surroundings over rural areas ensuing in denser urban regions. This has come about without considering psychological and social components of design of public area and homes nicely (Gehl 2010). furthermore, this led conurbations to have in addition infrastructure and much less nature, while on the other hand modern life-style has furnished diverse selections which includes computer systems, internet, tv, cellular and all other cutting-edge electronic gadgets which renders us to enjoy stress to satisfy all of the demands of a so-known as-social life. For this reason, the fee of strain and pressure-associated diseases are considerably extended .Through speedy growth of towns as a offspring of modernization and urbanization, populations have tended to pick city areas as their surroundings over rural areas ensuing in denser urban regions.
