Kumbh Mela - Mapping The Ephemeral Megacity

"In 2013, a team from Harvard University monitored the large-scale event from its preparation to the actual celebration itself. The fascinating prototypes for flexible urban planning were investigated and documented, and the organizer received advice in issues around environmental protection. The volume presents the comprehensive research findings and includes city maps, aerial images, and photographs such as a spectacular photo series by Iwan Baan."
