Abstract
Cities People Places journal is the official journal associated with the ‘Cities People & Places’ (ICCPP) Annual Conference being organized by the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Two ICCPP conferences were held in Colombo in 2013 and 2014 and these have established the event as a credible academic endeavor that can bring together academics and practitioners in the fields of urban design, architecture and allied arts. By generating a mass and diversity of knowledge on urban spaces, people and places in cities, the conference is contributing to a greater understanding of cities and urban settlement systems in the modern world. This publication consolidates the development of this knowledge to be made available to a wider spectrum of academics and practitioners.
Highlights
Introduction "The city is, rather, a state of mind, a body of customs and traditions, and of the organized attitudes and sentiments that inhere in these customs and are transmitted with this tradition
The conventional distinction between urban structures depend upon the urban tissue, urban form, land use and density, floating different degrees of responses to practice social distancing
Two important constituents which shape the urban form of the city are: Old Delhi and New Delhi which are segregated by the Fortified Wall and Ramlila Maidan
Summary
In India, cities are perceived by the diversified assets of its people's beliefs, aspirations and desires over religious, political and socio-cultural ethos, which intervene into the disparity between planned and organic sprawl of the city. The pandemic has altered the situation of Delhi where the process of formation and transformation within the urban grain has reset the definition of the humanizing aspect of Delhi: its people and places. It refers to urban spatial structure, which concerns the arrangement of public and private spaces in cities and the degree of connectivity and accessibility. The term urban structure refers to the pattern or arrangement of development blocks, streets, buildings, open spaces and landscapes which make up urban areas. It is the interrelationships between all these elements rather than particular characteristics that binds them together to make place (Llewelyn-Davies 2000). Depending on the basis of urban fabric, which contributes to the degree of urbanism, urban structure is largely categorized into two types: compact urban structure and standard urban structure
