10. Heritage as a Vector of Sustainable Urban Regeneration

The Case of North Shahjahanabad

  • Mrinalini Singh (author)
Chapter of: Urban Heritage and Sustainability in the Age of Globalisation(pp. 211–234)
Chapter Ten turns to the walled city Delhi, India, where Mrinalini Singh analyses the area of North Shahjahanabad, revealing a cultural heritage comprising rich historical, social, economic, religious and architectural values. She evaluates urban regeneration as a tool for developing and managing this historic urban environment and considers the city’s assets and potential as a basis for sustainability. This heritage thus becomes more than a static assortment of buildings and urban spaces, focalising dynamic social, economic and cultural spheres that continually drive it towards its full potential.
