dc.description.sponsorship	ndustries are the wealth creators and are one of the major economy drivers, be it of any kind. In earlier days, when Industrial Revolution changed the world, India too was not left untouched by its effects. Industries of different kinds were being setup in different parts of the countries and the cities in which they were based, became a magnet for people with a scope of employment, access to different facilities & services and thus those cities witnessed a sudden growth. But as circle of life suggests “what begins must end”, these industries also faced the decline in whole of the world and India. The most severely affected industries in India were the cotton textiles mills. As the mill operations became unsustainable due to various reasons & were declared sick, their closure led to economic crisis for the workers and their families. These cotton mills which once were the lively setups, soon became graveyards of themselves. And such graveyards such were all over the country, be it in Ahmedabad or Mumbai or Indore. These cotton mills soon became derelict sites, being neglected by the society at large. Development around them carried on, while these “dead” landscapes were left behind to became victim of different factors like time, politics, vandalism among the major ones. But now is the time when such neglected “dead” landscapes need to be revived again and be given the appropriate place in the society for not just their contribution in the development and growth of the society at its present condition but also because these unique landscapes are the examples of an era from where the Industrialization began, they are the predecessors of this whole process of Industrialization. The thesis proposal looks forward to exploring and design an abandoned industrial site, which has a history and a major role in development of the society at large. But with the gradual passage of time and advancement of technology it became obsolete and has been shut down or abandoned. Thesis proposal will aim to propose a landscape programme for the site which has an industrial character and will try to explore best possible ways to reuse the site through different landscape design interventions and strategies of varying degrees but approached in a holistic Transformation of Derelict Textile Mill Lands into Productive Landscapes – A Case of Indore Malwa United Mills Ltd, Indore Page iii manner for imparting the site a different purpose altogether while preserving its essence and giving it back to the city as a space which can be utilized or experienced in different ways while catering to aspects like – economic(productive) , environmental , recreational and historical aspects of the site. Also, on a broader level thesis aims to propose landscape design scheme to interconnect the different mill lands to each other to create a network of green open spaces which satisfies different concerns like environmental, social, functional and economic.	en_US
