People First In Shahjahanabad:Professor Amar Farooqui's SHAHAR

 


Can a wall be not just a territorial marker? 

Can it have different characteristics that make it contribute to - and enrich - urban life? 

Reflections and questions arising from a long conversation with Professor Amar Farooqui.

'In orienting us to how to reach Urdu Bazaar —  down the road on the second left turn from Daryaganj, past the Victoria Zenana Hospital (one of the first hospitals for women in the city), now the Kasturba Gandhi Hospital — he recollected what he called ‘the rich everyday life’ that peopled the entire boundary of the wall of the hospital.'
