Abstract
Shimla, a hill town in north India, possesses a unique cultural heritage manifesting layers of history. Shared built heritage of Shimla represents the 'shared' parts of history that include structures influenced by the colonial style. The diversity of building typology is under constant threats of urbanization and is exposed to degradation and extinction. Heritage listing as a tool for documentation aids to identify the shared built heritage and create repositories of the unrecorded history before it gets lost in the wraths of modern-day challenges. The study presents an account of the shared built heritage in Shimla using primary and secondary sources of data collection. Data was collected through a series of open-ended questions to various stakeholders, compiled in meticulously prepared inventories and represented graphically. The study contributes to defining a process for categorizing the different typologies of existing shared built heritage that aid in integrating these within the urban management plans.
