Identify three differences in the city design of New Delhi and Shahjahanabad.

Solution

Three differences were:

(i) Shahjahanabad was crowded with mohallas, and several dozen bazaars. But New Delhi was not crowded nor were there mazes of narrow bylanes.

(ii) Shahjahanabad was not established in a planned manner while New Delhi was beautifully planned.

(iii) There was chaos everywhere in Shahjahanabad. But New Delhi represented a sense of law and order.
