Abstract
This monograph is a curation of reflections on the Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) program conceptualised, funded and regulated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), Government of India and further discourses that are triggered by it. HRIDAY is a unique infrastructure development program that not only places cultural heritage at its centre, but also acknowledges the need to involve local and grounded issues of community, infrastructure and governance. As a pilot, this flagship scheme of the government selected twelve heritage cities that are geographically spread over the country and culturally diverse. It supports development of physical, social, economic and institutional infrastructures in these cities. The scheme is being considered to be taken to more cities in the future, in the same form or another, and from that point of view, this monograph provides for material that can inform the future trajectories of development of historic cities. This engagement has provided an opportunity to initiate a dialogue on heritage, historic settlements and conservation practice in India by leading thinkers on the subject. It has also provided a platform to showcase the leading conservation practices in India, provide academic reflections and deliberate on the future directions. Faculty Publications The 19th General Assembly of ICOMOS, with the theme of Heritage and Democracy for the Scientific Symposium, provided an opportunity for these critical deliberations. Questions of expanse or limits of the heritage discourse, the transformative nature of conservation processes, issues of equity and inclusivity, critiques for sustainable development, aspects of human rights and diversity, ethics of engagement, have been raised in the thematic groups of the Scientific Symposium. Keeping these questions as underlying themes, the content of the monograph is a result of a year-long process of deliberation upon the HRIDAY program, through on ground studies, workshops with experts and dialogue with the City Anchors. The content of the monograph is divided in three parts. The first part delivers as experts� voice that elaborate upon positions that have triggered from the questions embedded within HRIDAY. These voices are a call to expand and deepen history, heritage and conservation discourses beyond the divides of �tangible� and �intangible�, beyond the boundaries of a particular professional expertise and beyond the limits of roles, rules and regulations. These areas of discussions and opinions in the monograph are a result.
