  • Nepal Earthquake: One Year On
    ne year has passed since a devastating magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck Nepal on 25 April 2015, with the epicenter about 80 kilometers northwest of the capital, Kathmandu. This was the worst disaster to hit Nepal in decades. Only 17 days later a second earthquake of magnitude 7.4 hit near Mount Everest, taking more lives and destroying more homes. According to government estimates, the earthquakes EXECUTIVE Oleft over 750,000 houses and buildings destroyed or damaged and caused over 8,790 deaths. It is estimated that the earthquakes affected the lives of approximately eight million people, constituting almost one-third of the population of Nepal. With the situation dire, the Nepal government declared a state of emergency, and appealed for international aid. Along with other agencies, Habitat SUMMARY for Humanity answered the call to assist the people of Nepal. During the emergency phase, Habitat distributed 5,142 temporary shelter kits to families whose homes were destroyed or left uninhabitable. Habitat volunteers removed 650 tons of earthquake rubble, and distributed 20,000 water backpacks to families in earthquake-affected areas. As the emergency phase ended, Habitat’s programs shifted into reconstruction. Engineers completed safety assessments on 16,244 earthquake- damaged homes. Initial construction began on permanent homes in the community in Kavre district. As months passed, winter brought the threat of cold weather exposure, and Habitat distributed 2,424 winterization kits to families at risk to the elements. In addition, 32 trainers and 632 people in affected communities received instruction on the Participatory Approach for Safe Shelter Awareness. Overall in the first year since the earthquakes, Habitat for Humanity provided assistance to more than 43,700 families through various disaster response programs.

    INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING OF BIDUR (2017-2035) INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING OF BIDUR (2017-2035) 2035 BIDUR WLSP WPDI Foreword INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLANNING OF BIDUR (2017-2035) Background / Working process 001 / 002 I. Background China put forwards the "Belt and Road Initiative" to join hands with the countries along the belt and road to develop together. In this context, invited by United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), Wuhan Land Use and Urban Spatial Planning Research Center (WLSP) and Wuhan Planning & Design Institute (WPDI) formed a joint design team to prepare the Integrated Development Planning of Bidur (2017-2035) of Nepal, a country along the belt and road. Nepal is one of the less developed countries in the world. It has frequently changing political situation and lacks of complete urban planning system. The earthquake in Nepal in 2015 destroyed Zhangmu Port at the border between China and Nepal and led to rise of Gyirong Port in the north of Bidur. Therefore, as a bridge connecting Gyirong and Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, Bidur will usher brand new development opportunities. The work goal this time is to complete the planning of three parts: integrated development strategy (2017-2035), spatial layout (2017-2035) and five-year action plan (2017-2022), and try to establish urban planning system of Nepal. II. Working process 1. On July 21, 2016, WLSP and UN-HABITAT signed memorandum of understanding with a term of three years in Beijing, constituting a firmer and more stable basis for cooperation between both parties. UN-HABITAT invited WLSP to take part in the post-disaster reconstruction in international regions and promote the post-disaster reconstruction and economic recovery of the disaster-stricken areas, which is an important part of the cooperation.
