A Symbiotic Relationship is said to exist between a city and its suburbs in which both of them benefit from each other. In order for a town or a city to become a system in dynamic equilibrium - or a self-sufficient entity ; it must reach into a symbiotic relationship with its surroundings. Urban sprawl is a low density edification phenomenon, that in recent years has been often driven by people’s demand and by real estate speculation. The portfolio looks upon three different case studies and deciphers the symbiotic relationship they maintain with their nearest urban centre.
