Jaipur is often understood through its architectural heritage and extraordinary structures, yet its everyday urban life tells an equally dynamic story. This Walk situates heritage alongside contemporary interventions, exploring how planning, policy, and lived practices intersect to shape public spaces and long term legacy of land-use decisions.

Focusing on Kishanpol and Chowkri Modikhana, the Walk explores local artisan workshops and livelihood networks to understand how traditional economies adapt within changing urban frameworks. The Walk explores the intersections of heritage, public space, and economic activity, showing how communities navigate continuity and change, and how global narratives of ‘smartness’ interact with local realities.

Through this engagement, the Walk encourages participants to reflect on how the city they see comes into being, to question dominant narratives of development and heritage, and to consider how identity, community, economy, and planning interact in shaping the future of Jaipur, and similar cities and towns in India.
