SWAYAMBHU CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN-2003

The new constructions as well as demolition of historic structures are threatening the urban fabric of the area.

It was therefore deemed necessary that the monument zone is conserved.

The project was completed in association with the Department of Archaeology- the HMG of Nepal, Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) and Swayambhu Conservation and Management Committee (SWCMC). The Consultant, John Sanday Associates (JSA) prepared the action plan that incorporates:

  • Assessment of existing situation of the zone
  • Identification of structures of historic value
  • Proposals for the traditional structures that are in urgent need of repair.
