The Georgian government has approved unified aesthetic standards for urban development. The document sets general guidelines for the appearance of buildings and infrastructure: it concerns facades, roofs, fences, materials used, and color schemes. These requirements will form the basis for issuing permits for new construction throughout the country.
However, there is no strict regulation yet. Specific color palettes, exact lists of permissible materials, and detailed parameters are not publicly available. In fact, the authorities have outlined the direction and philosophy of urban environment development, leaving technical nuances for the future and not forcing developers into strict norms right now.
Until July 1, 2026, the new standards are advisory. However, after this date, they will become mandatory for all new projects. Non-compliance with the approved aesthetic requirements will mean refusal of a construction permit, which effectively turns the appearance of cities into a matter of state control.
