This paper focuses on the analysis of one of the most complex and contradictory “composite cities” in the world: Delhi, the capital of India. It addresses the transitional period before and after independence, which marks the passage from the birth of the megalopolis to its contemporary form. This case study treats the ways in which a mega-city can be built in distinct parts, each with different ways of organizing distinctive urban areas, as well as contributing towards a better understanding of cultural hybridization, the analysis of how foreign elements are reinvented and reinterpreted by local culture.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the analysis of one of the most complex and contradictory “composite cities” in the world: Delhi, the capital of India. It addresses the transitional period before and after independence, which marks the passage from the birth of the megalopolis to its contemporary form. This case study treats the ways in which a mega-city can be built in distinct parts, each with different ways of organizing distinctive urban areas, as well as contributing towards a better understanding of cultural hybridization, the analysis of how foreign elements are reinvented and reinterpreted by local culture.File in questo prodotto:
