Challenges of urbanization will continue to unfold in India. This book looks at the cities of India as the treasure of culture where people, activity, and space are the key elements. The cultural experience and the identity of the cities as forged over the centuries are at cross Road. The book discuss innovative ideas that need to be deliberated. - Sameer Unhale, State Mission Director, Swachh Maharashtra Mission, Mumbai Indian cities have emerged as 'centers of excellence, specifically Udaipur, where we can experience architectural uniqueness, aesthetic continuity, and cultural integration. It is our collective heritage that we now need to preserve, restore, add layers of growth to it and march ahead as leaders. I feel that we have to integrate our historical expertise and cultural experiences to create platforms for future growth. The cities we know today did not evolve from an ancient settlements but were founded, built, and developed by the rulers and people in symbiosis. This book is a great opportunity to generate research into the future direction of cities. I hope this research publication will explore new cultural concepts related to emerging cities in India. - Mayank Gupta, Deputy Secretary - Development, Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation
