SeminarSummary: New Delhi, the capital of Independent India, was conceived and constructed as the seat of British imperial power. Planned by Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, New Delhi was one of the last acts of imperial rule before India became independent. Post-colonial Delhi has grown and expanded immensely, partly in an unplanned auto-constructed way; for example, as a result of the large refugee population that came to the city during Partition, which significantly changed its demographics. Otherwise, in conventionally planned ways, i.e. through its master plans, which has resulted in the larger urban agglomerate of the National Capital Region.- Reproduced
