BACKGROUND •Rapid urbanization & great infrastructure pressure. Annual urbanization rate of Kathmandu valley is 4.7% against the national growth of 3.38% •Increased urbanization, reduced open land & housing deficit •speculation , high rate of land, out of reach of the middle class and lower middle class people.
ANALYSIS •Analysis of five municipalities of Kathmandu for selection of study area •After selection of study area , detailed analysis in context of, existing situation of LSMC, urban sprawl, Land Value changes, land speculation trend etc •Stakeholders survey & analysis
