Urban Proposals in Indian Cities

Nishant Lall

With their various constraints and unique cultural traits Asian Cities offer a multitude of approaches and potential engagements in the urban terrain. It includes 9 projects and collaborations by NilaA Architecture and Urban Design, a design studio in New Delhi from 2010-2019. The projects range from small scale approaches in dense inner city conditions to urban resilience measures in urban riverfront revitalization. With simple diagrams, drawings and volumetric studies, the book provides compilation of various attributes of urban infill and strategy projects. Since many are civic funded projects like local municipality, World bank funded urban scheme, the projects strive to create a methodology of small scale change that aims to benefit a larger urban fabric through connections, access, pause and play. The book includes pedestrianisation scheme for Karol Bagh and Paharganj, a unique cultural precinct in Delhi and the completed urban initiative of a riverfront walkway along River Ganges at Patna.
