      abstract = {This book discusses the importance of socio-spatial  patterns in cities that are embedded in the cultural  heritage and self-understanding of a society, showing that  Indian cities follow different urban concepts. In nine  episodes (nine is a sacred figure), it highlights the  principal influences and social impacts on cities from  ancient times to contemporary city developments. As such,  it provides planners and architects with insights that can  easily be applied in contemporary cities and towns and help  foster Indias cultural heritagea much-needed, but  little-discussed approach. Indian cities are the result of  various factors, some imposed, others following local  traditions that shaped them. They were founded around  social needs, landscape conditions and production routines,  as well as the religious influences of Hinduism, Buddhism,  Jainism, Sikhism, Islam, Christianity and animism. However,  Western town-planning models are often implemented,  blurring the traditional way of life in cities. For  sustainable town development, it is of key importance to  find solutions that deal with Indian city models.},
