  • Cantonments and Campuses

    Cantonments and Campuses
    Dec 17 2022

    Why do army cantonments look like 18th century Britain? What does that even mean? What works about them? What can we learn from them? Have army campuses influenced corporate and college campuses? In a long rant that is more of a discussion I got together with an old friend from college to chat about army cantonments in India and how they remind him of 18th century Britain.
