Central plaza and its public space has been very inspirational for me to do my thesis project and that was the best and beautiful part of visit. It is very hard to find plain land on those hilly slopes but people have found it and made best of it. this is really good public space that i have felt that many place lack. on contrast to my place Dhankuta there are many chowks and public places but not as such of centralized big open space. This concept really hit me to do similar on my thesis.
