Concept
Co-Dependency
The above chart represents the division of age groups of 1000 people residing in an Affordable Housing Settlement. A co-dependency can be established in the Settlement forming a system wherein the people in the higher end of the age group could share their expertise and experience with the younger people in the community and so on. Mumbai is a city filled with migrants. It can be observed that people from different parts of the country possessing different skills and knowledge co-exist forming a community. These people could share their proficiencies in various fields with the co-residents.
