Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC)

The Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC) advises the Government of India on preserving, developing, and maintaining the aesthetic quality of urban and environmental design in Delhi. DUAC plays a vital role in evaluating building and engineering projects that impact the city's skyline, heritage, and public amenities. It functions as a policy advisor, regulatory authority, and design promoter, ensuring that urban development aligns with ecological and cultural values. It collaborates with local bodies and government agencies to guide planning and architectural standards, and has been instrumental in shaping Delhi’s urban landscape through exhibitions, workshops, and pilot projects.
