Growing urbanization has caused the emergence of urban voids which are enigmatic places that can potentially change city dynamics. The research paper “Unveiling Urban Voids: A Comprehensive Evaluation of City Centre Chandigarh” examines some overlooked spaces in cities referred to as urban voids with a specific focus on City Centre Chandigarh. The study aims to bridge theoretical urban design principles and practical urban development through exploring how these gaps could add value to the city’s functionality, beauty, and overall livability. This research identifies, and evaluates urban voids prevalent in this locality using physical analysis as well as community engagement. It contains findings that reveal their subtle features, problems and opportunities followed by practical propositions for building up these environs. Consequently, the paper posits that this finding underscores their needful presence among planners and designers when planning for sustainable development of cities hence the significance of recognizing them for what they are really worth.
