The attractiveness of cities and their national and international competitiveness are partly determined by "soft" and "intangible" factors: cultural, social, and individual aspects are becoming the basis for the "unique competitive edge" that cities have and play a crucial role with regard to the creation of identity. In Delhi, every epoch of the city's rich history has left its traces, and the Indian capital has numerous monuments, gardens, historic areas, and ancient buildings as a result. Affected by globalization and urbanization, Delhi has been increasingly turning into a globalized metropolis, which has had a major impact on its urban fabric. Framed against the backdrop of the changing concepts and perception of urban heritage, this article focuses on the question of how Delhi's unique urban heritage should be safeguarded. The responsibility for this task does not lie with the authorities alone, but is embedded in the complex structure of public, private, individual, and collective stakeholders acting at different levels with their respective interests. These diverse stakeholders act within the scope of a differentiated set of rules and legislation. Thus, safeguarding urban heritage and integrating it into the urban planning process requires laws and regulations specifically relevant to cultural heritage and not just planning instruments. The institutional and legal framework of heritage protection in Delhi, its implementation, and the complex challenges that go with this are investigated. (Asien/GIGA)

In the last three decades, Delhi has witnessed the emergence of an independent textile industry that focuses on the production of highly specialized luxury garments. Until the 1980s, the Indian garment industry was mainly characterized by self-employed, locally operating tailors, and unorganized retailers. By that time, a few innovative entrepreneurs had identified the potential of the traditional Indian textile handicrafts for contemporary fashion however, and thus laid the foundations for today's luxury garment industry. This development was actively fostered by the Indian government, which created supportive institutional framework conditions for this emerging industry.Against this background, different value chains within the heterogeneous luxury garment industry in Delhi are analyzed in this exploratory study. While production processes are similar in all of the researched companies, there are significant differences regarding the size of these companies and related to the networks in which they are embedded. Although these value chains are mainly organized regionally, the designers act as lead firms and are embedded in global networks. In contrast, the suppliers are globally disconnected and often marginalized. The findings indicate that the emerging industry still mainly serves national or regional markets, but especially larger and established companies consider expanding to global markets.

Die Betrachtung der Stadt von morgen hat viele Facetten. Ihr enormes Wachstum sowie drängende Herausforderungen der zunehmenden Mobilität, Digitalisierung und Klimawandel stellen die Menschen vor die entscheidende Frage, wie eine lebenswerte Stadt aussehen kann. Der vorliegende Band möchte dazu anregen, unter Einbezug sehr unterschiedlicher Perspektiven wie Architektur und Literatur, Geographie und Gesundheit, Anthropologie und Planung sowie Umweltwissenschaft und Energie über eine Stadt von Menschen für Menschen nachzudenken. Welche Visionen haben Planerinnen und Planer? Was kann die Wissenschaft dazu beitragen? Der Band soll einen Einblick in diese vielfältige Auseinandersetzung geben.
