Indian Heritage Cities Network

In a concerted effort to document and push for the preservation of India's many heritage city the Indian Heritage Cities Network (IHCN) was created by UNESCO's New Delhi office in 2006. It works with governments, NGOs and individuals to safeguard the heritage values of 20 ancient cities (with more to be added in time) in rapidly developing India. Their website has very informative, free-for-download publications and newsletters on the history, culture and building of many of these cities such as Jaipur, Ujjain, Ahmedabad. In time I can see its website as among the best with detailed documentation of ancient Indian architectural heritage. For those interested in taking part in the preservation work in these cities, this is the orgainzation to work with and there is much work to be done too!
