p02 tundikhel

an open public space near the heart of the city, tundikhel is rooted in the cultural fabric of kathmandu. an underutilised piece of land that has the potential to act as the lungs of the city as it filters air and reduces temperatures within the microclimate. it has the potential to significantly improve public health while providing a refuge for our native species of plants and animals. a green tundikhel would be the start of a regenerative kathmandu.
