Rediscovering the Cultural Identity of the City Lucknow: Placemaking in Architecture

Abstract

Cultural Heritage influences a city's development and growth trends. The preservation of historic sites, architectural
character, and cultural areas can considerably boost tourism, property values, and a city's overall image. Lucknow, Uttar
Pradesh's capital, is an excellent illustration of how cultural heritage has had a significant impact on modern urbanization.
The city's rich cultural legacy and traditions are intertwined with its economic fabric. This research dives into Lucknow's
spatial expansion during the last century, including the growth of its surrounding districts. The approach used in this study
included a thorough review of past studies as well as an analysis of Google Earth maps to analyze the area in question.
Furthermore, the study uses relevant case studies from other heritage cities to assess best practices. One of the paper's
primary findings is the importance of architecture and placemaking in cultural resurgence. Preserving and supporting
cultural infrastructure can have a substantial impact.
