A new city pioneered by the King of Bhutan is aiming to draw young people back to the South Asian country.
The king of Bhutan has a plan to draw young people back to the country: a new city with 'mindfulness' at its heart.Bhutan's younger generation is leaving the country in droves, seeking higher-paying jobs elsewhere. Between July 2023 and 2024, more than 15,000 Bhutanese left the nation on work visas to Australia alone, according to a local news report cited by Al Jazeera.
A series of inhabitable bridges will connect the different areas of the city, allowing Gelephu to sit alongside the streams and rivers in the area.BIG founder and Creative Director Bjarke Ingels said in a statement: 'The Gelephu Masterplan gives form to His Majesty's vision to create a city that becomes a cradle for growth and innovation while remaining founded on Bhutanese nature and culture.'We imagine the Mindfulness City as a place that could be nowhere else.
