Rethinking Conservation Nizamuddin: Urban Heritage Zone Planning
Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti, located in the heart of Delhi, is one of the densest ensembles of medieval Islamic buildings of India. Along with its built heritage, the Basti holds within a deep sense of tradition and culture reflected in the arts, poetry, music and cuisine of the area. This volume reviews the challenges of urban development around the 28 monuments of national significance located in the Basti, Sunder Nursery and the World Heritage Site of Humayun’s Tomb, spread across 250 acres of land in the city. It presents a set of guidelines for development around the monuments that are aimed at revitalizing historic neighbourhoods, improving accessibility to heritage structures and rebuilding lives.
