Abstract

The Nepal's National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), which was established for reconstruction and recovery of damaged infrastructure by 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, achieved only 43% progress in the Kathmandu Valley in comparison to 75% in the Rural Municipalities by April 2020. The broader objective of this study is to unravel reconstruction constraints in urban housing. In addition to collecting information from the secondary sources, this study conducted primary surveys and focused interviews. This study found that the problem of land and access to finance are the structural problems. Hence, the Government of Nepal (GoN) will need to integrate reconstruction activities with a long-term urban renewal strategy. Other non-structural issues can be addressed by NRA itself.
