10.6.2 New Town Development Projects by KVDA
The Kathmandu Valley Development Authority (KVDA) is implementing the New
Town Development Project covering the 10 million Ropanies of land within Kathmandu Valley. KVDA’s mission is to develop “Kathmandu Valley as a Safe, Clean,
Organized, Prosperous and Elegant (SCOPE) National Capital Region,” so as to
foster the global image of Kathmandu Valley as a “livable city with the synergy and
harmonization of nature, society and culture.”
10.6.3 Integrated Urban Development Plan (IUDP)
In Nepal, municipal planning is largely based on the land use and infrastructure
planning in different forms of urban plans from a physical development plan to recent
periodic plans. The recently started Integrated Urban Development Plan (IUDP) of
185 municipalities by GON also sought for the integration of DRR concerns in
its thematic plan. An integrated urban development plan comprises a system of
interlinked actions, which seeks to bring a lasting improvement in the economic,
physical, social, and environmental conditions of a city or an area within the city. The
key to the process is “integration,” meaning that all policies, projects, and proposals
are considered in relation to one another. In this regard, the synergies between the
elements of the plan should be such that the impact of the plan as a whole adds up
to more than the sum of the individual parts if implemented in isolation.
The plan is set out to Long-term Vision and overall Goal, Objectives, and Strategies for Municipalities for 15 years period. The plan also includes the Physical development plan, Social, Cultural, Economic, Financial, and Institutional Development
Plan; Environment Sensitive Plan, Urban Transportation Plan, Municipal Transport
Master Plan (MTMP), Multi-Sectoral Investment Plan (MSIP), etc., on the basis of
vision, objectives, and strategies. This will help to prepare building bye-laws to regulate development in the municipalities integrating Land Use and road network plan
and long-term vision of the municipalities. It will also prepare Detail Engineering
Design of prioritized 2 subprojects in each municipality amounting not less than 30
Crore for each project.
