Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP)
Population in KV in the census year 2011 was 2.46 million with the annual growth rate of 4.63%.

Madhyapur municipality established in 27th March 1998

5. 1 Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP)
Projection for BAU model
Around 103 sq. km of additional land will be required for urban development in 2030 if the existing trend persist.
By 2030 the urban area of the valley will be sq.km which is twice as much as present built-up area.

Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP)
Figure : Constrains for Development in KV
Area with restrictions in KV is 59% and the area with risks is 38% of the total 722 sq.km
Several risks and restrictions overlap with one another and hence the total constraints sum up to 65%, inferring constraint free non-built up areas of 35% remaining in the KV

7. 1 Risk Sensitive Land Use Planning (RSLUP)
RSLUP was conducted for all 22 municipality
So basically it was this project that gave us overall idea of risk in the valley and way forward as we knew where to build and where to take different measures for sustainable development

8. 2 Kathmandu Urban Transport Master Plan (KUTMP)
Those municipalities/ VDC having less than 30% of non-built up constraint free area are put in RED category (AVOID), 30% to less than 60% in YELLOW category (CONTROL) and more than 60% in GREEN category (PROMOTE)

11. ISSUES :
No Well-defined schedules
Unreliable
Poorly maintained
Dirty
Overcrowded
Uncomfortable
In 2002 Arniko highway was extended from 4 lane to 6 lane but now in 2017 the condition is the same.

Open space Nandi keshwar Bagaicha (Garden) revival project
The garden has a historic value, it was a part of Nandi Keshwar temple built in 1801 A.D Area of the site: 1 Ha Issues: dumping the construction material and other household waste, parking, play ground . And the noise pollution was very high Special features : Rain Harvesting, Solar Lighting, Emergency Tool Kit
Ponding in central portion of the land
Garbage Disposal in the site

Issues before the park construction
Park being used after disaster
Construction was carried out with the involvement of local community , local Police , government institutions such as KVDA .
Now, similar parks are being developed in two other places1) Sainbu, 2)Gokul chaur

Eco-Friendly Water and Sanitation Infrastructure In Satya Sai Shiksha Sadan, Tokha, Kathmandu
Major issues : Rapid urbanization, water scarcity, open drainage, poor/ not operating WWTS
Project activities
To create waste water treatment system
To harvest rainwater
To recharge ground water (perforated paving)
To reduction of heat island effect
To create more green areas (medicinal and aromatic plants)
