To make these planning models a success, careful consideration was given to all the aspects associated with a town such as its size, scale, allocation of spaces for various activities based on their role, road layouts, and widths, building heights, assigning of housing sectors based on caste residing within the town and how all of these justified the means to achieve the same. At the same time, various walled cities and fortified towns of Rajasthan have always been studied while understanding newer planning models. This research aims to find a connection between the planning concepts that were given in the Manasara and the walled cities of Rajasthan in terms of their planning. To correspond to the local on-site conditions for these walled cities and determining the similarities and differences with the Manasara town models shall be an objective of this study with the conclusion of how much original character has been retained in their planning.
