Revitalizing Kumartuli: A Heritage-Centric Renaissance

The project focused on the revitalization of the Sovabazar Sector in North Kolkata, integrating heritage conservation with urban regeneration. The initiative emphasized the adaptive reuse of Lal Bari, transforming it into an interpretation center to celebrate the intangible heritage of Kumartuli. A heritage trail was designed to connect Lal Bari with cultural landmarks and the Ghats, enhancing visitor engagement and fostering community pride. Additionally, interactive digital tools and wayfinding signage were developed to create an engaging and accessible experience. This comprehensive approach blended conservation, community involvement, and contemporary urban strategies to ensure sustainable preservation of cultural heritage.
