Hari Om....To accommodate the millions of pilgrims who journey to Allahabad to
bathe in the sacred confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna, the Indian
government creates a temporary in the flood plain of the river. This
city is laid out on a grid, constructed and deconstructed within a
matter of weeks; within the grid, multiple aspects of contemporary
urbanism come to fruition, including spatial zoning, an electricity
grid, food and water distribution, physical infrastructure construction,
mass vaccinations, public gathering spaces, and nighttime social
events.
