    Chandni Chowk was the main axis that ran through the center of Old Delhi, connecting the Red Fort to Fatehpuri Mosque. Originally, Chandni Chowk had octagonal plazas with water channels running through the center and was a wide boulevard lined with prestigious buildings and markets, creating an impressive vista. However, over the years Chandni Chowk has severely deteriorated due to overcrowding, an influx of vendors and traders, unauthorized construction, and a lack of control and planning.

    CASE STUDY
    CHANDNI CHOWK

    Chandni Chowk was the dominant


    axis of the Walled City, it ran
    through the middle of the walled
    city, from the Lahori Gate of the
    Red Fort to Fatehpuri Masjid The
    original Chandni Chowk had
    octagonal chowks with a water
    channel running through the
    centre. Its wide boulevard with
    prestigious buildings and bazar
    created a vista between the
    magnificent Red Fort and
    Fatehpuri Mosque.
    • Over the years there has been
    massive degradation and
    deterioration of this magnificent
    boulevard, which has been mainly
    caused by overcrowding, huge
    numbers of vendors, markets and
    trader, unauthorised construction
    and lack of control over all.
