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 document serves as guide to various organisations including the municipalities and planners/ designers to design the streets as ‘Complete streets’ instead of 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.
