The study area of Old City, Udaipur is the one which has been greatly influenced by the past and its traces can be seen in the present like the caste based settlements which further impacts the social life of the people living in the precinct. Its diverse streets and land use pattern increases the footfall throughout the day. Due to the tourists coming in the city, the markets and cafes in the precinct are highly affected and further increases traffic issues. The precinct is very different from the one present in the periphery. The topography also plays an important role.
