 Snide remarks aside, I was reading this relevant article on how to structure downtown of cities. Given that a lot of points in that article are for first world countries, a lot can still be taken away from it in terms of planning for the future. 

In light of that, I could see that it would be easier to start anew with Chitwan as the capital. The possibilities are endless. And honestly, does it really matter if we shift from KTM? I mean KTM is an awesome city and I was born/raised there, but reality is that it's kinda hard to improve on KTM. 

I think Nepal desperately needs more cities to rise up. Chitwan is beautiful, I'd love to see architechts design around its natural beauty implementing consistent and maintainable infrastructure. 

While my post may be borderline utopian content, I think its not entirely impossible.
