Many buildings in Delhi are of Heritage value. One among them is the Town Hall located at Chandni Chowk. This is now available for  a 3 year lease. Should the govt not restore it and make it into a open for public monument?
Should are heritage structures by not adaptively reused into some useful function space for the city dwellers?
This video looks at the various options available with an example of adaptive reuse of a Heritage Structure.
