India, Jan. 23 -- Reading satellite data on growth of settlements with present day assembly constituency (AC) boundaries solves the puzzle. All ACs which saw a doubling of their settled area between 1980 and 2020 - the earliest and latest satellite mapping which is available - are located on the outer circumference of the city. Once again, this should not surprise people who have known the city. Delhi's core has hardly seen any growth in built-up area, although it might have seen a massive gentrification in the past few decades.
