When we talk about building a community, we start by acknowledging that many of us live in
multiple communities. A community is a network of people who share things in common. We live
in communities of place, past, purpose, perspective, and practice. Neighborhoods, villages, and
regions are communities of place. We share common geographies, resources, issues, and
possibilities. Families and ethnicities are communities of past. We share common heritages,
languages, cultures, ancestors, and roots. Companies, organizations, and institutions are
communities of purpose. We share common mission, vision, goals, commitments, and interests.
Religious and spiritual traditions, political ideologies and worldviews are communities of
perspective. We share common beliefs, stories, and values. Professional disciplines, crafts, and
careers are communities of practice. We share common types of work, knowledge, and learning.
Some of these communities overlap, some intersect, and some are separate and don't connect. We
are naturally close to people who belong to the same multiple communities with us. We seek
communities where we feel a tangible and visible sense of belonging, engagement, and
possibilities for a meaningful life (Network Weaving, 2011). Communities create social and
economic changes. They may either bring forth improvement or threat to the immediate vicinity.
Character wise, most subdivision developments are mere copycats devoid of character association
of the place where they are situated. Some would claim of considering the local context on their
designs, which is hardly felt and experienced when closely scrutinized. Everything around us has
become too commercialized. Another is the cloistered approach of the development, whereby the
community seems to be detached from the environment beyond its perimeter. Physical connection
through roads is never enough to establish the bigger role of a small community to its host
community.

Industrial Parks or IP’s are paramount for the growth of small and middle-sized enterprises in
developing economies (Sharma, 2019). They promote entrepreneurship, offer plots of varying
sizes with shared facilities, boost SME productivity and most importantly, offer more and better
employment opportunities. IPs can be considered magnets of development. As development
increases in these parks, more people populate the area during work hours. Many of the workers
travel far daily just to work in the different industrial companies. A big chunk of their income goes
to travel expenses. To support their workers, some companies provide shuttles which add up to
their operational expenses. Some are even forced to seek accommodations as bedspacers. This
relocation distances them from their families and home.
