== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
The increasing urbanization and associated green spaces displacement enhances the desire for more plants in the city centres.
In several studies there was investigated that people can experience significant psychological improvements in greener cities.
Green spaces improve the well-being, health and mental health of people in cities.
The people in the town center of Landshut are still plagued by a green poverty, not only by urbanization, but especially by their history.
Landshut is an old historical Bavarian city, located in the Isar valley at the beginning of a range of hills,
embedded in the rural nature with forests, meadows and the river Isar.
In 2004 , the city of Landshut was eight hundred years old.
So Landshut has a medieval city center, which is nearby the river Isar and under the castle Trausnitz with the court garden.
Formerly this park was the garden of the castle. Castles and monasteries have always had a vegetable garden with fruit trees, vegetables and wine.
Basically medieval towns had very little green in the city center, because the center was only a place of action and sales.
Thus cultivated plantings were reserved for the nobility or the monks.
Gardens in city backyards were quite rare, too. Otherwise you could find agriculture outside the city.
In the transition to modern times, the middle class got rid of the tutelage by the nobility and was culture- determining.
So the court garden was formed in 1837 to a public park.
However, new plantings in the town centre were very rare to obtain the characteristics of the medieval city.

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

The common idea of the group was the development of a green space design concept based on the town Landshut. This concept includes four different views how a bare city could be planted.
Initial situation was a green corridor within the city as a link between the natural areas river and court garden.
The most plant species should be taken from the court garden or the river area.
Based on the background knowledge of the individual group members and the starting situation there will be developed four different concepts.

== Summary of the collaborative process ==
''The urban civilization and its degrading environment is a major problem for the city dwellers. The city has to bear the pressure of modernization and also exist in itself as it belongs to the past. Its identity is the main issue but a healthy environment for the people living in it cannot be sidelined. So it was a main challenge to design an existing city with its historic importance by making it a livable and healthy place for the public. The foremost idea developed was to do an overall planning for planting design throughout the city. But the same approach for all the area was not possible. So the design areas were separated in parts. And different approaches of design were taken for each part.
So instead of working in the same design four times, we divided the work into four parts and in the process of designing, we discussed, synthesized and suggested each other for design processes.
And collaboratively we came up with one synthesized design. We could learn a lot from each other’s educational background as well as culture.

In the transition to modern times, the middle class got rid of the tutelage by the nobility and was culture- determining.
So the court garden was formed in 1837 to a public park.
However, new plantings in the town centre were very rare to obtain the characteristics of the medieval city.

== What are the objectives of your design? ==

The common idea of the group was the development of a green space design concept based on the town Landshut. This concept includes four different views how a bare city could be planted.
Initial situation was a green corridor within the city as a link between the natural areas river and court garden.
The most plant species should be taken from the court garden or the river area.
Based on the background knowledge of the individual group members and the starting situation there will be developed four different concepts.

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
The increasing urbanization and associated green spaces displacement enhances the desire for more plants in the city centres.
In several studies there was investigated that people can experience significant psychological improvements in greener cities.
Green spaces improve the well-being, health and mental health of people in cities.
The people in the town center of Landshut are still plagued by a green poverty, not only by urbanization, but especially by their history.
Landshut is an old historical Bavarian city, located in the Isar valley at the beginning of a range of hills,
embedded in the rural nature with forests, meadows and the river Isar.
In 2004 , the city of Landshut was eight hundred years old.
So Landshut has a medieval city center, which is nearby the river Isar and under the castle Trausnitz with the court garden.
Formerly this park was the garden of the castle. Castles and monasteries have always had a vegetable garden with fruit trees, vegetables and wine.
Basically medieval towns had very little green in the city center, because the center was only a place of action and sales.
Thus cultivated plantings were reserved for the nobility or the monks.
Gardens in city backyards were quite rare, too. Otherwise you could find agriculture outside the city.
In the transition to modern times, the middle class got rid of the tutelage by the nobility and was culture- determining.
So the court garden was formed in 1837 to a public park.
However, new plantings in the town centre were very rare to obtain the characteristics of the medieval city.

Case 1
If you want to find out, what plants should be planted and how you want to plant them, then I would add the timescale, because later on, the new river bank need other plants then if you start to reconstruct it.
In Nepal also, we have lots of rivers, rivers running through the urban spaces. The riverside architecture is also an issue here. I think to create small seating areas at certain intervals is a good idea but to concrete the whole of the riverbed is not such a good idea. It definitely affects the ground water and may cause natural disasters after a period of time. So, it’s a good case you have presented.

Case 2

So, is it good or bad? What has been done, or intervened in this case has caused it to become more noticeable?

Case 3
You have said that the site itself was changed not because of human intervention but because of natural disaster-landslide. What else has change after the natural change? And now why is there a need to use the river as energy source and also building a highway? What kind of artificial modification has been done? Development cannot be stopped but if something is of that great a value, some other alternatives has to be considered.

Case Study A

The Case study sounds well.
Picture: China has huge rivers, but the picture shows more a creek? So is it really a river?
- If you want to find out, what plants should be planted and how you want to plant them, then add the timescale, because later on, the new river bank need other plants then if you start to reconstruct it.
In Nepal also, we have lots of rivers, rivers running through the urban spaces. The riverside architecture is also an issue here. I think to create small seating areas at certain intervals is a good idea but to concrete the whole of the riverbed is not such a good idea. It definitely affects the ground water and may cause natural disasters after a period of time. So, it’s a good case you have presented.

Case Study B

Case Study sounds interesting, Go further on please. So, is it good or bad? What has been done, or intervened in this case has caused it to become more noticeable? It is a nice approach to keep something of great value not intervened and also it has its own dynamics with the natural process of growth.

Case Study C

Very well. Really good. You have said that the site itself was changed not because of human intervention but because of natural disaster-landslide. What else has change after the natural change? And now why is there a need to use the river as energy source and also building a highway? What kind of artificial modification has been done? Development cannot be stopped but if something is of that great a value, some other alternatives has to be considered.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Kathmandu is a World heritage site with 130 important monuments and rich with history of the rulers of different centuries. There are seven UNESCO world heritage sites in the valley. Kathmandu valley is one of the most fertile cities in the world. But now it is proving out to be more fertile for buildings than vegetation. Population growth due to immigration is the main cause of uncontrolled city growth in terms of building construction and haphazard planning. As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Summary and conclusion ==
The population of the valley has reached 2.5 million. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need. Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas are basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need. Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas are basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Kathmandu is a World heritage site with 130 important monuments and rich with history of the rulers of different centuries. There are seven UNESCO world heritage sites in the valley. Kathmandu valley is one of the most fertile cities in the world. But now it is proving out to be more fertile for buildings than vegetation. Population growth due to immigration is the main cause of uncontrolled city growth in terms of building construction and haphazard planning. As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Summary and conclusion ==
In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.

== Summary and conclusion ==
In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need. Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas a re basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Kathmandu is a World heritage site with 130 important monuments and rich with history of the rulers of different centuries. There are seven UNESCO world heritage sites in the valley. Kathmandu valley is one of the most fertile cities in the world. But now it is proving out to be more fertile for buildings than vegetation. Population growth due to immigration is the main cause of uncontrolled city growth in terms of building construction and haphazard planning. As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Summary and conclusion ==
In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need. Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas a re basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Kathmandu is a World heritage site with 130 important monuments and rich with history of the rulers of different centuries. There are seven UNESCO world heritage sites in the valley. Kathmandu valley is one of the most fertile cities in the world. But now it is proving out to be more fertile for buildings than vegetation. Population growth due to immigration is the main cause of uncontrolled city growth in terms of building construction and haphazard planning. As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Summary and conclusion ==
In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need. Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas a re basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Summary and conclusion ==
''In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need.'' Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas a re basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

''Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Summary and conclusion ==
''In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need.'' Our cultural heritage are of great value. But today, we need more innovative approaches to conserve them so as to add life to the city as well as prepare a healthy city life. So, planting design needs to be applied in wherever possible areas. And these areas a re basically the heritage zones as there are the only spaces which have not received the burden of haphazard building constructions.
Like a drop in a Lake, from '''Garden of Dreams''' to '''City of Dreams''' - working towards building a healthy and beautiful life for people and the vegetation for a balanced eco-system.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Kathmandu is a World heritage site with 130 important monuments and rich with history of the rulers of different centuries. There are seven UNESCO world heritage sites in the valley. Kathmandu valley is one of the most fertile cities in the world. But now it is proving out to be more fertile for buildings than vegetation. Population growth due to immigration is the main cause of uncontrolled city growth in terms of building construction and haphazard planning. As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Rationale: Why is this case interesting? ==

''Please give a short introduction to the site you have selected (not more than 150 words)

* A legacy, a history, created in the 20th century in Edwardian style as Kaiser Shamsher Rana’s private six seasons garden almost lost its identity in the lack of proper maintenance. In the 21st century, government took a bold decision to restore it with some foreign aid and now it stands with pride and beauty as a neo-classical historic garden with pavilions, amphitheatre, pond, pergola, varieties of flowers and fauna from around the world but maintaining its originality.
* Over population, lack of proper planning, haphazard growth to the existing planning, all are causing the city life to become a disgrace with lack of gardens and parks for refreshment.
* In such a situation, restoring the history and making it a social urban space and tourist place is today’s need in an overpopulated city like Kathmandu. What more could anyone ask for, a history in conservation and that too as a beautiful piece of green vegetation on a concrete jungle!

== Author's perspective ==
''A History in conservation, as a planner and city developer, it is very important to know the city's made from the past as well as its future should be contemplated. Every space should have a sense of place and that is only possible if it has a value, either from the past or designed in present context. I believe creating spaces is more important than designing and I intend to do so always.''

== Landscape and/or urban context of your case ==
*''Kathmandu is a World heritage site with 130 important monuments and rich with history of the rulers of different centuries. There are seven UNESCO world heritage sites in the valley. Kathmandu valley is one of the most fertile cities in the world. But now it is proving out to be more fertile for buildings than vegetation. Population growth due to immigration is the main cause of uncontrolled city growth in terms of building construction and haphazard planning. As every city life has much to offer people are automatically attracted towards it. The problem is only encountered in the valley. If we drive or even walk few kilometers out of the valley, we find lots of green vegetation, farming and fresh air. So, landscaping is not a problem there. So, we need to think about the city and the people living here altogether.

== Analytical drawings ==
''Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case and take the following aspects into account:''
* ''natural dynamic versus cultural framework - in how far do these two forces come together in your case?''
* ''dynamic through the year (you may imagine how the site looks in spring and summer, maybe you also remember it)''
* ''highlight potentials and problems''

== Projective drawings ==
* ''Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) for your case and take the following aspects into account:''
** ''How would you like this case to change in the near future? (in 1-2 years)''
** ''And how could it look like in 10-15 years?''

== Summary and conclusion ==
''In the city where there used to be less than 125000 people, there are more than half million now. The cultural heritage of the valley, is under direct threat and their environmental homogeneity is almost destroyed. The public utilities and spaces have nearly collapsed. The city is now rated one of the most polluted spots on the earth- with more than 115766 vehicles. Every inch of public space is facing encroachment and lack of green spaces is creating hazardous environment for the livings.

The impact of all this can be seen in the degradation of the social life of the people.
So '''Garden Of Dreams''' is an approach or point of department for rising a hope for the city by providing small pockets of urban green spaces, roof gardens, vertical gardens so as to improve the lives of the people even if by small contribution as a start.
We need to conserve what we have and renovate it according to today’s need.''
