NEO-"JUGAAD" URBANISM

Sarah Belchkar, Aaron McRoberts,
Jonathan Kabumbe, Sydney Sheppard

Jugaad is originally referred to a tractor/trailer, used as a water lifting device

“A clever improvisation from the resources we have”. In a way, the city of Old Delhi constitute an opportunity to learn from informality as a way to anticipate for what can not. Neo-"jugaad" urbanism is a fostered yet informal approach to urbanism inspired by Shahjahanabad urban fabric development as a framework to preserve its past and present cultural landscape.
