The Sundar Nursery garden, Humayun’s Tomb and its surroundings were restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) in collaboration with the Archaeological Survey of India. The AKTC believes culture is a tool for urban renewal so a whole slew of improvements have been made in the Basti, new employment opportunities created, old skills revived and the 800-year-old Sufi culture documented and reinvigorated. The conservation schemes centred on Humayun’s Tomb should lead to an improvement in the way architects work.
