New Delhi

Paper Summary:

This paper contends that it is New Delhi's grand tradition as a political center of power that has firmly rooted it into the spatial landscape. Further, its vast expansion into a major commercial and industrial center within India, coupled with its lack of spatial identity (due to a centralized value on its place in a cultural sense), at once keeps it out of the "traditional" quadrant while placing it into that of the "bazaar city", where it is likely to remain.

From the Paper:

"Few people can imagine India without calling to mind its vast cultural, spiritual, and natural splendor. So, too, few non-Indian's can bring to mind the nation without imagining sprawling squalor, chaos (to the western mind), and the history of Gandhi. However, there is much more to India today that few non-Indians understand-that is that the nation, once one of the most disadvantaged in the world, is now rising as one of the nations "most likely to succeed" educationally, economically, as well as politically."
