Religion Interacts with New Urbanism Holistic City Anandpur Sahib
Abstract Both ancient and modern cities are the result of a limited range of configurations that structure human action in concentrated populations. Anandpur city is a religious city, which represents attributes beyond its natural characteristics. A corollary of the development of communities in Anandpur Sahib has been a steady growth in the quantity and aesthetic presence of Gurdwaras within Sikh urban landscapes. Strategies to develop these buildings have frequently given rise to forms of aesthetic constitution that are embedded in processes of identity construction among new cities. Taking the religious impact and emerging urbanism as case studies, this paper demonstrates the extent to which urban planning processes condense and mediates the relations among social groups. In addition, it explores the changing emphasis of the city relating to adore places, as these have shifted from restriction to multicultural “celebration.” Elements convening definitions of the city Anandpur Sahib are: Heterogeneous societies and discrete buildings as economic and administrative, social, institutional neighborhoods and associated personnel Compacted and overlapped packing of residential and nonresidential structures Monumental core of unique buildings (e.g., Keshgarh Sahib Gurdwara, bus stand structure) Five forts of the city The Khalsa Heritage Museum Special characteristic feature “City profile” of Anandpur Sahib that shows maximum building height at the center of the city and less height as one moves away from the city center, central focuses the enshrined center, whose access was restricted and where Gurdwaras predominated
