It is in fact, the most developed city in the Sivalik foothills and the gateway to the far-flung hill areas of Uttaranchal. To check the haphazard development and degradation of natural environment, to sustain the glory of the city and to build further upon it was colossal task handed over to the MDDA in the year 1984 under the provisions of U.P Urban Planning and Development Act 1973.

About Façade
Contest 2020
Due to increasing population and unabated migration, cities are becoming sprawling urban hubs. The challenges of urbanization manifest themselves in various forms. Solid waste management, unending traffic and the deterioration of environment are some of the most basic and visible consequences of the urban growth. For ecologically and seismological sensitive cities like Dehradun, considerations of sustainability and resilience assume even greater significance.
In this backdrop, as India advances to make its cities smarter and technologically advanced, there’s also a need to make them more inclusive and citizen centric. MDDA believes that architecture, urban planning and Information Technology/Computer Science students can play a role of being an “enabler” in the process of urban transformation. It can ensure a more sustainable path for urban development.
Keeping this in mind, MDDA is providing a first-ever opportunity for students from Architecture and Information Technology/Computer Science discipline from Dehradun based Universities and Colleges to join the policy formulation process and improve the urban governance landscape for the cities of Dehradun district.
The main objective of MDDA’s this initiative is to seek ideas of architectures who love to promote local architecture hence creating beautiful urban cities. Government has recently announced its façade policy to have similar façade all over the cities of Uttarakhand depending upon local architecture. All participants are thus requested to submit the façade design depending upon architecture of Uttarakhand. This exercise is the step towards this goal.
