This paper discusses the spatial pattern of the urban tissue of the walled city of Lahore, Pakistan, especially the urban quarters called mohallas, kuchas, galis, and katras. The walled city consists of a lot of streets, most of which have dead ends. The primary and secondary streets making urban blocks are called bazars, and small alleys inside the block are called kuchas, galis, and katras each of which has their own name and forms a small urban quarter. Its boundary encloses houses facing the alley. There are other some larger quarters called mohallas which include some kuchas and galis, some part of its boundary is set on bazars. The word mohalla and kucha are originally from Arabic and Persian language, while gali and katra from Hindi. There have been the tradition of so to speak street-core-quarter both in India and Islamic countries. We clarified the fact that the caste system was introduced into urban quarters and conclude that the pattern of the urban quarter in Lahore is overlaid with both Indian and Islamic patterns.
