Abstract: Fatehpur Sikri, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers significant cultural and historical value, making it crucial for tourism and heritage preservation. This document proposes an integrated development plan, addressing infrastructure, urban planning, and conservation challenges. It emphasizes sustainable redevelopment, land-use planning, and traffic circulation while preserving the site’s heritage. Drawing inspiration from Ahmedabad’s successful heritage management, the plan includes modern environmental graphics, better facilities, and support for local crafts. The recommendations focus on balancing tourism, conservation, and community needs to ensure sustainable growth and development while protecting the city’s unique historical character.
