Urban Development
As a part of rapid urban development in this locality, a significant number of residential complexes were constructed here since the late 1990s. The area is broadly divided into two distinct categories of housing complexes: the high-rises and the low-rises.
The high-rises include Gokul Concorde, Challengers, Oberoi Gardens, Oberoi Parkview, Viceroy Court and Viceroy Park.
The low-rises (up to 8 floors) include Aangan, , Vasant Sagar, Evershine Millennium Paradise, Valley of Flowers and NG Suncity. These six complexes put together cover the major land area of Thakur Village, and also house most of the population. Of these, Evershine's Millennium Paradise is the largest, with 75 buildings having nearly 2,400 housing units.
There are a handful of single-buildings (not complexes). These include Gaurav Shikhar, Gokul Gagan, Gokul Horizon, Gokul Residency, Hill-View Park, ISM House, Mineral House, Bhoomi Hills, Bhoomi Valley, Technopark I and II and Vasundhara.

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or development:
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
“As long as fathers rule but do not nurture, as long as mothers nurture but do not rule, the conditions favoring the development of father-daughter incest will prevail.”
—Judith Lewis Herman (b. 1942)
