Gelephu Mindfulness City. Spanning an area around the size of Hong Kong
- Role: subject
- In the video: Video about the planned special administrative city unveiled by Bhutan’s king in December 2023 on the plains of southern Bhutan, to stem youth emigration. It will be a series of towns among rivers linked by habitable bridges (one with an international airport, one a hydroelectric dam with a temple), capped at six storeys, with paddy-field flood buffers.
- Why it matters: The whole video is about this city as Bhutan’s attempt at a mindful alternative to Dubai-style new cities.
