Stupa and Swastika: Historical Urban Planning Principles in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley


Mohan Pant and Shuji Funo
 
Stupa and Swastika examines urban structures in the city of Patan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley. The religious architecture and overall design of the city illustrate the connection between Buddhist symbolism and South Asian concepts of urban design in the Indus Valley, and suggest links with Southeast Asia.
