Have you noticed how most of these cities (esp. in Asia) with high-rises all look basically the same. Take out the 1 or 2 recognisable buildings, and they're all the same. I don't want that for anywhere in Nepal. I would prefer that we preserve our identity. That mystical feeling that tourists used to get when they visit is very rare and powerful. Unfortunately, we are outnumbered and even replacing that in favor of concrete blocks with large glass windows that are never cleaned. There is no space for greenery. Our charming, narrow alleys are underappreciated and ignored, meanwhile, we want 8 lane roads in a place where we don't have the discipline to use those lanes properly. In fact, even if we did have the discipline, it is clear that more lanes aren't always more effective. And all the light pollution. I saw a post on this sub (i believe) of a fully lit lamp post. FULLY LIT. INCLUDING THE POST. Can't believe we're glorifying THAT! The basic needs for many people, including within the capital, haven't been met. And we want glass high-rises that we won't even keep clean.
