STREETS
• Streets continued to serve the movements of the divine, the living and the dead. • Route of the dead and the route of the divine should not intersect,
and the funerary paths linked each and every house to its designated funerary ghat, a very complex pattern of back lanes became laid out.• Overlapping layers of ritual mediations in the streets added charm
and variety in the experience of moving of the living. • All the three movements i.e. of the DIVINE, THE LIVING AND THE
DEAD, ---- Definition, Delineation And Detailing of the Malla street and pathways.

• System of voluntary set back - increasing social interculturation• SPACES from narrowing and widening of the arteries (lachhi) and
interspersed with platforms (dabali) and resting pavilions (pati), numinous stones, shrines, chaitya and temples also offer restorative potions of sun and shadows, calm and breeze, sights and sounds, neutral 'voids' and spirited spots and etc. apparently catering physiological, psychological and spiritual recuperation and rest. • Every streets have stories to tell• They create, nourish and continue thick urbanism.

Changes and Challenges from Contemporary life
• Heterogeneity, diversity and density have intensified over the decades in Kathmandu valley towns. • Old spaces are reduced or misused• Breaking down of traditional organization and structure of the society• Cultural symbols and values have lost their essence• For quite a few users, the surviving environmental characteristics comes
as a boon in an otherwise ‘space-less’ city. • Migration of multi-culture : limited ability of the migrants to integrate
with the local population well.
