| Abstract | The built environment is continuously changing, and so is the socio-cultural scenario because of the rapid urbanization and technological developments. Researchers and thinkers have been working toward conserving the resources and finally came up with sustainable development. The concept can be interpreted in three spheres; social, economic, and environmental. The indicators of social sustainability are often neglected. This negligence causes a rise to serious issues like lack of identity, belongingness, improper land use, unhygienic conditions, increased stress level, and unsafe society. This research paper aims at analyzing the indicators of social sustainability and urban design elements, thereby exploring the priorities amongst them in the present context. This study applies qualitative and quantitative methods to collect information from different sections of Indian society. The study highlights that urban design elements have a positive impact on social well-being. The elements are architectural elements and the driving element that make a community strong and more livable, which is the ultimate sustainable development target. However, the study also identifies certain indicators, which seem to be neglected, and suggests some recommendations based on exploratory research. |
