Description: Journey into one of the world's most enigmatic capitals, a city summoned from scrubland by decree and built on a scale that defies belief. This exploration of Naypyidaw examines the sweeping boulevards, monumental architecture, and gilded pagodas that define Myanmar's purpose-built seat of power, while asking what it means to inhabit a place designed more for authority than for people. From ministerial precincts to manicured gardens, readers are guided through the zones, roads, and rituals that shape daily life in a capital unlike any other. An illuminating portrait of urban ambition, political symbolism, and the strange quiet of a city still waiting to be filled.
