Urban Adaptability refers to the character of urban built form, neighborhood and people adapting to the changing needs and growing trends. Egmore, a core locality in Chennai is a suitable study area for the concept, as the predominantly institutional locality over the years didn't fail to adapt to the changes and diversification without losing its core character. The analysis is done through the lenses of built form, infrastructure, technological and socio-cultural adaptability. The portfolio also highlights that the adaptable nature of Egmore has resulted in better imageability and hence multiple genius loci.
