In the early twentieth century, Hyderabad faced an extraordinary series of challenges—plague, floods, and famine—that tested the limits of governance and urban planning. For most cities, such a combination of calamities would have been catastrophic. But Hyderabad, a princely state ruled by the Nizam, stood apart in its response.
Its leaders, particularly Mir Osman Ali Khan, recognised that crises like these were not simply matters of immediate survival but opportunities to reshape the city for the future. In the wake of devastation, they built infrastructure to safeguard their people and reimagine the urban landscape.
