While the less privileged (eg craftsmen, Köhler ) often live in mixed residential and commercial buildings, has been specifically established the concept of " gated housing" for the wealthy employees of service companies. In closed and guarded areas people live in eight - to ten -story apartment complexes. These areas include sub-central structures such as supermarkets, swimming pools, sports fields, schools, etc. The establishment of this " gated housing" areas makes the huge social differences in Indian society significantly.
