At the onset, a group of local youth was trained to undertake the cultural mapping of tangible and intangible resources of the entire project area. In addition to the monumental heritage, the mapping exercise listed out some of unique yet neglected built heritage, significant Sufi shrines and also brought out the intangible cultural resources of music, local crafts, and pluralistic cultural practices such as the celebration of Basant and Urs, amongst others. This exercise led to an improved understanding of neighbourhoods and the sociological parameters that govern their growth.
