SWAYAMBHU CONSERVATION ACTION PLAN-2003

The new constructions as well as demolition of historic structures are threatening the urban fabric of the area. Organic building activities without considering architectural norms, has reduced the pure glory and walling up the traditional architecture in the surrounding of Swayambhu Protected Monument Zone. It was therefore deemed necessary that the monument zone is conserved. With the support from the Commission of the European Communities through the Kathmandu Valley Mapping Programme, the project was commenced in January 2003. 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:
