Sustainability of
“Kathmandu Sustainable Urban Transport
Project”
I hope to live
to the day the plans are implemented!Had
public transport comprised 71% of the
operational vehicles, and consumed only 1.4%
of total energy and contributed to 53%
travel demand, the city would have been
relatively sustainable. Why not replace
micro buses with bigger buses and start
safer and more comfortable travel? Many will
rethink if they are planning to purchase
motorcycle or car, after all oil prices are
increasing... Divine Dip (on www.spacesnepal.com)
No doubt
capacity building is indeed the roots in
order to grow into sustainable management of
the whole system, but the question is who is
feeding?? Unless and until the participation
of pedestrian, commuters, drivers and
moreover the people of the city are excluded
from the project, the question can again be
raised in its vision!! Sacheen Maharjan (on

It’s pretty
interesting to know such use of modern
science and lifestyles have been
incorporated into the rural areas of the
country. There was a time, and I could be
right that still today, you tend to see
rural amenities and houses. But this changed
my perspective completely. Now, next time i
do not need to frown up when I plan a trip
down there. Awesome to read it.

7 Secrets to
Sustainable Architecture
A very good
article to illustrate energy efficiency and
environmental sustainability. But from what
I have studied and learned, sustainability
also incorporates inclusiveness (social
sustainability) and economy (economic
sustainability) in architecture/ planning.
May be this aspect has not been explored in
the article. Anyway keep up the good work.
