Shaping Nepal’s Urban Future
Nepal is currently experiencing one of the fastest rates of urbanization in South Asia. Without rigorous spatial planning, rapid development risks overwhelming natural drainage basins, destroying historical townscapes, and worsening vehicular gridlock.
At D Sketchbook, our urban planning team approaches every master plan with long-range ecological foresight. We believe vibrant cities are formed around pedestrian dignity, accessible public parks, and resilient infrastructure.
