Beginning
with the Mugal period they had ruled in our country for over 300 years. They
were very fond of art and architecture specially Shah Jahan was having good
knowledge of the architecture under him only the famous Taj Mahal was built where
the workers were called from different places of the world.
The mughal era had a lot of landscaping, open spaces and greenery. They made bazaars, idgaah for praying
outside the main city. They were adapting the new technologies to prepare
themselves to fight in the war. During mugal era most of the part of the
country came under one rule so there was more development seen, condition of
the people were improved.
During the British period, the
colonization was done which lead to the urbanization which future lead to the
making of sub webs leading to the setting up of railway line.
They found the condition here in
India very unhealthy so they developed civil lines and army cantonment and
barracks on the outskirts.
They
started broadening the roads despite of the higher cost damaging done to the already
existing historical buildings.
The established the railway lines,
they created the cantonments and hill station, sewer an drainage systems were
created.
At that time a town planners Edwin
Lutyer was called to plan New Delhi. And he created a plan which invalided a
lot of green spaces, open spaces proper roads separate industrial, residential. The Connaught place and the Rashtrapati Bhawan was designed by
him New Delhi was made into administrative centre.
During Mughal Period technologies
were not that advanced but then too according to the technologies were there
the cities were planned accordingly where as during British period more
advanced technologies came and a better planning was done at the areal level.
So a more organized area developed with a better road network drainage and
server system, railway etc.
