Retaining the Past Grandeur

We preserve the ancient glory of Delhi while developing it into a planned city. DDA is ensuring that the Capital's unique historic character, its traditions and ethos does not get lost in the maze of modern development.

Its search and endeavour has been to help maintain hither to unknown. Delhi the land of 7 cities has about 1321 listed monuments and an umpteen number of buildings which speak volumes about its traditions and culture.

'DDA Urban Heritage Award' instituted in the year 1993 for the maintenance of old buildings still in use is an effort in that direction.

DDA has also consituted the "Urban Heritage Foundation" in 1999.
