"Delhi has been built over nine times. The city'a urban landscape is naturally dotted with tranquil environs of historical precincts jostling within a bustling urban environment, sometimes chaotic and at others, giving a sembelence of created order. Several important issues emerge at the edges between the two. The interface, thus, requires special attention to seamlessly merge the old with the new. 

The tenets of landscape-urbanism speak of the role of landscape as an integrator of sorts, serving to glue together seemingly dishointed areas, while at the same time looking at complex inter-linkages between related disciplines of traffic and circulation, structure planning and urban conservation. 

The area considered for the study is Bhairon Road and Purana Quila precincts, with special linkages in time and space that define the character of the distinctive urban precinct. To make the situation further unique, the fort premises also houses the National Zoological Park, perhaps one of the most significant repositories of animal display in the country. Further, the Pragati Maidan stands as an icon of the post-independence, emergent capital, an expo that attracts millions of footfalls in its events and faiths."

A detailed study of the multiple complex and interrelated issues was conducted including the activity patterns, traffic and circulation analysis, urban image, microclimate and environments, and history.
