Abstract:
Urban spaces are representative of the era in which they are conceived and built. With the passing of
time and changes in the demand for newer types of goods and resources, many urban public spaces constantly
adapt to the shifting paradigm or wither into misuse and dereliction. This paper looks at the tangible and
intangible elements that make urban public spaces resilient. The case chosen for this investigation is Chandni
Chowk in Shahjahanabad, the medieval capital city of the later Mughal period.
