geographic reasons and colonial influences. Today most of these
capitals survive as historic artifacts while remaining in their original
landscape character. The present capital - Colombo for example, owes
much . of its character to British Colonial rather than indigenous
influences. Sri Lankan Government has taken a conscious decision to
relocate all necessary administrative buildings in Sri Jayawardanapura
Kotte in order to establish a new enclave to Sri Lankan Capital city.
This Dissertation explores the landscape identity achieved and situation
to be so, in the creation of an enclave for the Sri Lankan capital.
