Ahmedabad’s nomination in India’s first World Heritage City has got a setback. Unesco’s World Heritage Committee (WHC) has conveyed the Indian government that it has deferred Ahmedabad’s World Heritage City nomination this year. Originally, the nomination was to be discussed at Unesco’s 41st session, to be held during July 2 and 12 in Krakow, Poland. WHC has elaborated to Indian government that it found vital aspects missing in Ahmedabad’s dossier. WHC said that it was not satisfied with the documentation related to the Outstanding Universal Values for Ahmedabad’s walled city – referring to the urban fabric, pol culture, spaces, and buildings. A team led by a retired Cept University professor took 6 years to compile the dossier for Ahmedabad’s walled city. The dossier was reviewed by the Heritage Conservation Committee of AMC Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.
