The definition of New Delhi is unclear and complex and the differentiation between Delhi and New Delhi is very much blurred. Even administratively, the demarcation between Delhi and New Delhi is not clear. Government of India and Government of Delhihave not clearly defined the area and boundaries of New Delhi. The rest of Delhi was rural. But after independence as more and more areas around New Delhi urbanised they also became a part of New Delhi as they were also a part of Delhi which was 'new'. Now, almost all of National Capital Territory of Delhi, with exceptions of the old city called Old Delhi, Civil Lines area, Trans-Yamuna region, some rural areas and some underdeveloped parts of Delhi is designated as 'New Delhi' in postal addresses. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and has a total population of nearing 14 million residents.
