The rapid expansion, urban form and development of the built
environment in the world's second most populous city, Delhi, has
been the consequence of social, political, economic, planning and
architectural traditions that have shaped the city over thousands
of years. Whilst seamless at times, these traditions have often
resulted in the fragmented development of the city's built
environment. This book charts the political, economic and social
forces that drove development in India generally and in Delhi in
particular, and investigates the drivers and constituents of
Delhi's urban landscape. The book provides a lens through which to
examine the development path of a mega-city, which can be used as a
guide in the development of emerging urban centres. Furthermore,
the strengths and weaknesses of Delhi's built environment are
critically analysed, with consideration to the role of the market,
finance and policy over time. This book not only provides valuable
insight into the physical evolution of Delhi and its surrounds, but
it also asks broader questions about how people, power and politics
interact with urban environments. It is essential reading for
planners, architects, urbanists and social historians.
