Book Launch of Maps of Delhi

Did you know that Connaught Place was envisaged as a central railway station for Delhi? 

Did you know that the British town planners were the first to segregate industrial and residential  areas? 

Maps of Delhi is both beautiful and stimulating, while also offering deeply insightful commentary for the most discerning of scholars, and is an indisputable milestone for those wanting to research the capital. The book reveals, as A.G. Krishna Menon notes in the foreword, the charm of printed maps and the many pleasures and insights they offer when they are physically handled. It brings to light how Delhi is, truly, ‘a city of cities’.

Pilar Maria Guerrieri holds a PhD in Architectural Design, Architectural Composition, Criticism and Theory from Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, Delhi, and Westminster University, London. She has conducted extensive research on European and Indian cultures, the development of megacities, and the effects of cultural exchanges, with primary focus on Delhi, pre- and post-Independence, and is at present developing a research project on European legacies in Delhi from 1991 until present day.
