	Shahjahanabad: The Sovereign City in Mughal India 1639—1739:0521522994:Stephen P. Blake:eCampus.com
		From 1400 to 1750, Asian capital cities were often ruled in such a way that they became symbols of the power and influence their emperors extended over their states at large.
		Shahjahanabad is the first study of a pre-modern Indian city (Old Delhi) as a sovereign city.
		Stephen Blake explores the way in which the emperors' and nobles' palaces and mansions dominated the landscape; how cultural life revolved around that of the emperors and their families; and how the households of the great men also dominated the urban economy and controlled a large percentage of state revenue.

		Postcolonial Shahjahanabad has been a question mark for development, having to deal with its role of trade primacy (60% wholesale and 25% retail units of the city are located here), extremely high population density, (2000 pph in pockets), plus vast heritage resources that exist here.
