Delhi, home to over 33 million people in the metro area, is one of the most populous and intricate cities in the world. It's not just the political capital of India but also a symbol of the country's democratic values. However, for many residents, there's a noticeable gap between how the city is planned and what people actually need. This paper takes a closer look at Delhi from the perspective of people-centric urbanism. We’ll dig into its historical growth, the challenges it faces today, and the systemic issues that hold it back from being a truly inclusive city. By doing this, we’ll imagine what Delhi could be like if it actually prioritized the needs of its residents—focusing on accessibility, fairness, environmental health, and community involvement in urban decision-making.
