After two years of discussions, workshops, redesigns, and community consultations, Lalitpur Metropolitan City, supported by Nepal Cycle Society, is excited to announce the vehicle-free zone trial at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Patan Durbar Square, starting November 29, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What began as an ambitious idea has now become a necessity. Increasing traffic around the heritage site was impacting safety, local businesses, cultural experiences, and the environment. This project is the result of collaboration at every level:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Police \u2013 for traffic management, safety, and enforcement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward Offices & Local Leaders \u2013 for coordination and administrative support<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Members & Residents \u2013 whose feedback guided every decision<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s Groups \u2013 offering perspectives on mobility, safety, and inclusive spaces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This trial is a first step toward making Patan Durbar Square more pedestrian-friendly, vibrant, and sustainable. Over the coming weeks, we will learn how limiting vehicles can revitalize public space, enhance safety, support businesses, and protect our heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, let\u2019s make this trial a success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
