The project of urban renewal in Delhi's old Nizamuddin Basti has been recognised by UNESCO in two categories.
These awards will be presented at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards this year.
The Award of Excellence and Special Recognition for Sustainable Development was given to Nizamuddin's conservation programme.
Since 2000, the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation programme has recognised private people and organisations for their achievements in restoring, conserving, and adapting structures and buildings of significant heritage significance in the region.
