Why Bhutan is building a 'mindfulness city' in the jungle

Bhutan may lay claim to being the happiest country on earth. In fact, the wellbeing of its people is valued so highly it is measured using a unique system: the Gross National Happiness. Despite this, a lack of economic opportunities is forcing many citizens to seek a better life elsewhere.

The government’s answer to this is Gelephu Mindfulness City. Forget skyscrapers and super-yachts, this is a smart city like no other. At GMC, motorways are making way for nature trails and dams offer not just electricity, but enlightenment.
