==Geography== | |||
With a total area of 42.7 km2 (16.5 sq mi),<ref>https://www.ndmc.gov.in/ndmc/act.aspx</ref> New Delhi forms a small part of the Delhi metropolitan area.[30] Since the city is located on the [[Indo-Gangetic Plain]], there is little difference in elevation across the city. New Delhi and surrounding areas were once a part of the [[Aravali Range]]; all that is left of those mountains is the [[Delhi Ridge]], which is also called the Lungs of Delhi. While New Delhi lies on the floodplains of the [[Yamuna River]], it is essentially a landlocked city. East of the river is the urban area of [[Shahdara]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080302220220/http://www.ndmc.gov.in/AboutNDMC/NNDMCAct.aspx</ref> | |||
