City of historic importance, Agra is in transition. New urban development change is influenced by its global connectivity as the home of the World Heritage Site and a growing importance in the regional and national urban system. City space is being shaped by conventional urban planning which emphasizes upon physical land use segregation. Now neoliberal effects are also visible in the present urban policy and (heritage) planning. In fact, planning in Agra appears to have capitalized on one historical built monument - the Taj - but in the process ignored the other aspects in urban development. The going ‘global’ has appropriated the local (Taj Mahal), but locals seems to have been left out in this process. |
