Abstract

Strongly influenced by the geographical layout and the political dynamics of the region, the his-toric town of Jodhpur, called the Blue City, provides an outstanding example of traditional ur-banism in Rajasthan, India. To make the city a unique example of the Indian heritage is not only the characteristic morphology that summarizes, in a single glance, all the layers that have con-cerned the territory over the centuries, but rather the deep cohesion between the architectural heritage and the socio-cultural order.
