In addition there prevails the involution of these pluralistic built environments, cities and new developments, that juxtapose and circumvent around historic cores where indigenous and contemporary cultures intersect. Delhi is one such place where with its colonial connotations the everyday lived life and spatial experiences become complex, integrative and recuperative to the lives of many urban dwellers. Like in many megacities in the developing world, people migrating to Delhi to seek employment and better life are among the causes of rising urban population. Concurrent social relations engender power distinctions that differentiate people along class lines which inevitably leads to contestation of space. In this socially contested urban center. There exists a conjunctive motion, flow or kinesis among different layers of histories, cultures, and physiological routines during the pursuit of everyday life. In this case streets and traffic junctions become heterogeneous public spaces that host syncretic ensembles of ways of life between preexisting and new urban elements. This thesis is a critical study of the syncretic ways of life between the old and new at a major street junction in walled city of Delhi. It observes how temporal, spatial and cultural ways of life simultaneously facilitate new urban experiences that is referred to in this study as the Kinetic City. 2013-10-28 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1378112760 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1378112760 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
