The arrangement of the houses, the gardens, and the stores in the city were all modeled on those of the buildings that made up the palace complex, making the city a continuation of the imperial home.
As an illustration of a sovereign city, consider Shahjahanabad:
- The royal palace served as a paradigm for how the city's residents should behave socially.
- The emperor and his nobles had a pattern-client relationship, and the nobles' relationships with the people who lived in their homes formed a type of enormous extended family that spanned the entire city.
- The daily rituals of the palace-fortress examined and reinforced these bonds.
- Like many other medieval Indian towns, Shahjahanabad's planning mirrored the power of the monarch, but it also had unique characteristics that indicated an autonomous urban evolution in many ways.
- The main thoroughfare ran from the Lahori Gate of the palace-fortress to the Lahori Gate of the city wall, with a brief detour at the Fatehpuri mosque.
- Between the Fatehpuri mosque and the palace-fortress, the Nahr-i Faiz ran down the middle of the road, and a square was built around its center.
- It quickly acquired the well-known moniker Chandni Chowk thanks to the lovely reflections on the moonlight nights.
- It is obvious that Chandni Chowk was constructed, albeit on a much larger scale, according to the same layout as the chamans or flower gardens in front of the Mughal palaces.
