The Delhi Urban Art Commission was set up by an Act of Parliament in 1973
to “advise the Government of India in the matter of preserving, developing
and maintaining the aesthetic quality of urban and environmental design within
Delhi and to provide advice and guidance to any local body in respect of any
project of building operations or engineering operations or any development
proposal which affects or is likely to affect the skyline or the aesthetic quality
of the surroundings or any public amenity provided therein”.

Foreword
The Design Manual for Street Elements and Amenities has been prepared in response to the recommendations
of the Master Plan of Delhi-2021 concerning various aspects of mobility on the streets of Delhi and making
streets inclusive for all sections of users.
It is based upon selected data that is specific to street elements and amenities from a diverse set of Indian and
International street design standards.
The manual includes a comprehensive list of 26 street elements and amenities categorised broadly under six
sections, along with suggested design variations suitable to the local context.
The formulation of this manual involves documenting current practices including those of Indian Standards for
Street Design from UTTIPEC, Indian Road Congress, ITDP, BIS etc. It highlights the best practices from around
the world.
The document would serve as guide to various organisations including the municipalities and planners/
designers to design the streets as ‘Complete streets’ and not a piecemeal attempt with little co-ordination
between various agencies. Also, the maintenance of the designed amenities plays a significant role as the
upkeep of the public amenities decides the quality of our streets.

3.1.1 Prioritising the PEDESTRIAN ZONES
The convenience & safety of the pedestrian is of paramount importance while designing complete
streets. The Pedestrian walkway width of minimum 1.8m should be maintained before accomodating
any other zone. In case of space contraints for a Multi-Utility zone, some of the amenities
can be accomodated in the Frontage which is a non-active i.e adjacent to a boundary wall.
Amenities or facilities should not obstruct or reduce the pedestrian walkway below 1.8m

3.3 Issues/ Current practices related to street elements
In order to ensure a convenient commute for both pedestrians and motorists, it is important that the elements of
the street are placed in the appropriate zones without hampering the movement and functioning of other elements.
Absence of specific street furniture elements can also lead to pedestrian-vehicular conflicts and make public
spaces unsafe space for movement.
