Heritage Based Urban Development (Karnataka)

Project Overview

A detailed cost-benefit analysis was performed to evaluate the economic and social benefits of heritage development initiatives. Finally, policy recommendations were developed to support heritage preservation and urban development. The cities covered in this project were Gulbarga, Bidar, Badami, Bijapur, Belur, Halebidu, Srirangapatna, and Mysore.
