Question

Give some features of the new city of Delhi built by the British.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In New Delhi, there were instead to be broad, straight streets lined with sprawling mansions set in the middle of large compounds. The new city was also designed to be a clean and healthy space; it had to have better water supply, sewage disposal and drainage facilities than did the Old City.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Many elements of New Delhi architecture borrow from indigenous sources; however, they fit into a British Classical/Palladian tradition. The fact that there were any indigenous features in the design was due to the persistence and urging of both the Viceroy Lord Hardinge and historians like E.B. Havell.
