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:
“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
“Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
