ISLAMABAD | ELIZABETH CARON
These communities of 3500 to 4000 people would be provided with the basic social infrastructure such as markets, schools and mosque and in turn, served by a larger core with a greater variety of services like banks and medical establishments (Prentice 60). The different social infrastructure, as in Fig.14, is well distributed within each subsector in regards to mobility from one another. Mosques are situated approximately 250-350m apart whereas the schools are about every 200-250m meters from each other. Fig. 11: Main marketplace
There is a close proximity between the different infrastructures as mosques are mostly either directly next to a market or within 150m of schools. It creates clusters of social gathering space for people to exchange. The scattering of clusters around the city block provides for accessible spaces as residential areas are within walking distance to each social infrastructure.
