This project argues that religion influences urban development in India, and must inform policy. India's scale and speed of urbanisation makes its sustainable urban development critical globally, yet modernist urban planning has failed to address slum growth, poverty, gender inequality and ecological crises. Using interviews, archival research and fieldwork in six walled cities that clearly display the interactions of religion and modernity, this project will show how religion also shapes these issues and must be part of their solution. It will also show how religion impacts power relations in planning, and how engagement with religion can lead to the development of planning policies that respond to the needs of cities.

该项目认为，宗教影响着印度的城市发展，必须为政策提供信息。印度城市化的规模和速度使其可持续城市发展在全球范围内至关重要，但现代城市规划未能解决贫民窟增长，贫困，性别不平等和生态危机。通过在六个有城墙的城市进行访谈、档案研究和实地考察，清楚地展示了宗教与现代性的相互作用，这个项目将展示宗教如何塑造这些问题，并必须成为解决问题的一部分。它还将展示宗教如何影响规划中的权力关系，以及与宗教的接触如何导致制定应对城市需求的规划政策。
