Abstract: Greater Faridabad is a semi urbanised part of National capital territory and parallel to Faridabad city. It has emerged as home of many high and midrise gated residential societies. For many people, gated societies in satellite towns appear to be a preferred option for residence. Migrants with high paying jobs also prefer living in the gated communities because of sense of community, prestige, lifestyle and security. The residential gated societies in these towns promise good living standards with various facilities and attract large population (Roitman, March, 2010). But on the other side as they are away from the city centre are not yet well endowed with basic urban facilities (The Hindu, 2014).Keeping pretext of various studies, which shows that lack of urban infrastructure impacts wellbeing, the present paper tries to understand residents’ place attachment. The paper argues that place attachment in gated society is generally influenced by social groups and likeminded people, friends and neighbourhood. The study is largely based on the field work conducted in the study area in June, 2019. The methodology followed includes content analysis of news reports, review of relevant literature, transcriptions, analysis of secondary data as well as analysis of primary data collected through questionnaire from a sample of 50 respondents selected randomly from residential gated societies of greater Faridabad. Residence place attachment was then after statistically tested using simple logistic regressions and chi square. The findings of the survey suggest that the lack of accessibility of urban infrastructure in the study area makes people unsatisfied with respect to urban basic infrastructure, but is not the detrimental in developing place attachment, with the possible exception of “access to roads”.
