Zusammenfassung:
'Negotiating Cultures' focuses on the city of Delhi, one of the largest mega-cities in the world, and examines - from a historical perspective - the processes of hybridization between cultures within its local architecture and urban planning from 1912, when the British Town Planning Committee for New Delhi was formed, to 1962, when the first Master plan was implemented. The research originates directly from primary documents and examines how and to what extent the city plans, the neighbourhoods, the types of residential, public buildings and the architectural styles have changed over time.
