A figure-ground diagram is a two-dimensional map of an urban space that shows the

relationship between built and unbuilt space.

It relates the amount of "figure" to the amount of "ground" in a figure-ground diagram, and
approaches urban design as a manipulation of that relationship, as well as being a manipulation
of the geometric shapes within the diagram.

Where for example central districts are more dense as well as commercial corridors, and the
edge of the city has lower density.

Poche refers to the space in between buildings. In other words, the pocket which is given
definition by buildings. This is a relatively easy field to examine, whereas we can look as the
scale, definition given by buildings, shape, enclosed-ness, and other features that differentiate
different urban open spaces

Field Grid refers to the street network, and thus building organization, that can be observed by
looking at figure grounds.

Pattern and scale changes based on distance from center. Texture and orientation reflect
reservoir and topography.

Figure-ground drawings are effective means of visual communication in binary categorization

that assigns the value figure and ground.

In terms of Poche Diagram, the built space is the figure and the empty space being the ground.

Fine grain urban fabric consist of several small blocks in close proximity. Fine grain can be easily
identified over the central parts of the city, which encompasses mostly of residential and
commercial sectors.

Coarse grain urban fabric consist of large blocks in close proximity. Coarse grain weaving over
the city can’t be seen on a clustered form, rather they were been scattered over the city, which
comprises majorly of temples, institutional and hospitals.

Here the amount of figure is 18% and ground 82%.which is been increasing at a rapid rate,
whereas the central part is denser in which the heat island effect can be clearly felt.
