  • Taking a Stroll Along Norzin Lam Supporting Efforts to Pedestrianise the Main Thoroughfare of Bhutan’S Capital City
    ARTICLE Taking a Stroll Along Norzin Lam Supporting efforts to pedestrianise the main thoroughfare of Bhutan’s capital city. Norzin Lam. Source: The Centre for Liveable Cities Written by Connecting the retail and hotel district to the financial district, and onwards to See Boon Ping the civic district, Norzin Lam is the main thoroughfare of Bhutan’s capital city, and Michael Koh Thimphu. It is also one of its most congested roads. Dasho Thrompon (Mayor) Kinlay Dorjee and Executive Secretary Pasang Dorji selected this situation as their urban challenge case study when they participated in the Temasek Foundation International Leaders in Urban Governance Programme (TFILUGP) in 2014 and 2016. After this five-day practitioner-oriented mayoral workshop run by the CLC and funded by the Temasek Foundation International, the Thimphu Thromde (city government) officials invited the CLC to give further advice and to review the progress of their plans to pedestrianise Norzin Lam, a proposal in the Thimphu Structural Plan 2002-2027 to rejuvenate the city’s urban core. At a three-day workshop in Thimphu, attended by CLC Fellow Michael Koh and Professors Heng Chye Kiang and Fung John Chye from the National University of Singapore (NUS), the city’s urban planners presented the challenges they faced in pedestrianising Norzin Lam, including the absence of a pedestrian-friendly footpath, steep slope gradient, under-utilised public spaces, depletion of traditional heritage buildings and the need for urban regeneration. Besides visiting sites to assess the strengths and opportunities of Norzin Lam, the CLC team shared best practice precedents from Singapore 1 Meeting with the Dasho Thrompon (Mayor) Kinlay Dorjee (centre).

  • Bhutan-China Relations: Towards a New Step in Himalayan Politics
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by CrossAsia-Repository BHUTAN-CHINA RELATIONS: TOWARDS A NEW STEP IN HIMALAYAN POLITICS ∗ THIERRY MATHOU here is an apparent paradox in Bhutan-China’s relationship. The geographical location of Bhutan gives it both political and strategic Timportance in the Himalayan region. Bhutan has a long tradition of cultural and religious interaction with Tibet and shares a common border with China. Yet, the kingdom is China’s only neighbour which does not have diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Even trade and economic contacts between the two countries are very small and their common border remains closed. However, the status quo resulting from the turmoil that followed the integration of Tibet in the PRC and the Sino-Indian border conflict in 1962 is about to change. Political contacts have been resumed since the mid 1980s. The two governments have been using the annual border consultations to exchange views on a wide range of bilateral issues. Both countries have interest in the normalization of their relationship. Yet, their perspectives are different. While Bhutan prefers to remain cautious according to the approach it has always favoured on the diplomatic scene1, China is considering its relation with Bhutan as part of its “Western development strategy”, that could allow Tibet to regain a central position in the Himalayan region. The present paper places Bhutan-China relations in an historical perspective that shows the importance of the Tibetan factor. Linkage politics and perceptions of security in the context of India-China relations are also described.
