Instreetutionalised The Street as an Institution
All streets have character. In Delhi, we notice that this is more prominent than ever. While planners and architects in other countries theorize about how they can reimagine a street as a place instead of just a transit route, in India, the case is just the opposite. We may have the worst traffic in the world but no one can complain that our streets lack character. A desi street is unlike any other. A lot has been written about this particularly Indian phenomenon, the street, but this seminar addresses key issues with the recent development of the urban streetscape in the context of Delhi. The seminar looks at the morphology of the street as an institution and its social implications.
