Delhi
The housing situation in Delhi is very diverse and is in many ways connected with the history of the city. You can divide Delhi geographically in North, South, East and West, or historically – Old-Delhi / New-Delhi – or in the different villages the city exists of. In all those divisions, you come across a variety of housing – there is no such thing as a homogene ‘locality’ or neighbourhood.
