The walk will trace the multi-layered history of Old Gurgaon, through the bylanes of Jacobpura.

Jacobpura- a small settlement in the village of Hidayatpur chawani was Founded and named after the local Deputy Commissioner, an Englishman by the name of Mr. Jacob, in the year 1861. The small settlement was planned to accommodate staff of the British East India Company, which later was mostly occupied by the merchants of the main city bazaar- Sadar.

We aim to deconstruct the living history of this Old Gurgaon precinct, look at a few architectural marvels, speak to locals, allowing participants to develop their own 'sense' of this place.

In this Jane Jacobs Walk, guests will have an opportunity to get introduced to local life on the street and get to know the life of locals behind the doors. They will experience local culture, see some hidden heritage treasures, walk through the local bazaar, travel through Old Delhi on foot and by rickshaw, visit the region's oldest spice market, taste the best safe street food and interact with different business owners who are there from several generations, and visit a Haveli for a traditional home-cooked complimentary meal.
