Journal of the Indian institute of architectsSummary: Every livable city is a place of uniqueness which will have its own inborn properties, identity and a development potential. Today heritage and tourism related infrastructure in various part of the country has improved the quality of life of the local people and helped to promote local art and crafts. People have always travelled to distant parts of the world to see monuments, art and culture and test new cuisine. Identities are related to physical environment by means of complex patterns of direct and indirect ideas, feelings, values, goals and behavioral tendencies, relevant to a specific environment. With the onset of urbanization, the historic town has been exposed, physically damaged and destroyed due to the impact of unplanned urban development. Heritage enhancement through reinforcement of identity is serving as a gateway to boost the tourism cities such as London, Paris, Tokyo, offering a wider range of attractions and improvement in overall urban ambience and cityscape views. The city of Aurangabad is a perfect blend of both heritage and industries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the historic core of Aurangabad, through the idea of development around the core and envisioning a development that is in sync with the core, as well as undergoes a functioning that is integrated with the everyday. The focus of the thesis would be upon integrated development strategies for the historic core, by equal distribution of resources and development strategies, for them to form an active and integrated part of everyday. The strategies would also aim to attract visitors and tourists to the city, to expand its reach on a global level. Aurangabad has seen a shift in its identity from a historic city to an industrial city, leaving behind a trail of problems and threats to the historic core. The historic core is seen as an isolated entity from the recent development around it, its values and significance have not been embraced and integrated by and into the everyday. The thesis concerns the reformation of the inner city identity and its potential to accommodate new development, using heritage as a driver in order to reconnect the tangible and intangible elements associated with it. Key Words: Identity, heritage, integrated, everyday, historic core, inner city, tangible and intangible
