Tiretta Bazaar is a neighborhood in Central Kolkata. The locality was once home to 20,000 ethnic Chinese Indian nationals, but now the population has dropped to approximately 2,000. Change in the community’s economic fortunes over time and unplanned over-development of the area threatens to corrode the historic value and character of the place. This thesis aims to stem the decline and preserve culture and heritage that once added glory to Kolkata's lost image as a melting point of cultures.
