Description:

The article traces on the background of the urban development of Pondicherry blending European and Asian influences in the material culture of this city. The development of the city can be divided into several stages. The first begins with the granting of rights to the French base in 1673 and lasts until 1691. This period is devoted to the building of basic infrastructure. For the urbanism of the city Dutch occupation in 1693–1699 is of the key importance. Dutch construction schedule was adopted by French, who developed it almost in full till 1741. The years 1741–1761 brought a flowering of monumental architecture, reflecting the French attempts of the rise of colonial empire in India. After the destruction of the city by English in 1761 reconstruction followed, which enriched the city with several important buildings, but the subsequent English occupations in the years 1778–1785 and 1793–1816 put an end to the city‘s development as an important commercial and cultural center.
