Kathmandu è la capitale del Nepal. La città ora affronta una vasta gamma di problemi urbani, il rapido aumento della popolazione della città e l'urbanizzazione non pianificata hanno gravemente degradato l'ambiente urbano, risultando in una fitta area urbana con poco o nessun spazio pubblico aperto, una mancanza di spazi verdi e spazi verdi sufficienti, reti stradali inaccessibili e sviluppo abitativo, gestione dei rifiuti e inquinamento atmosferico e scarsità d'acqua. Il Kathmandu si trova in una zona sismica molto alta dai pericoli naturali. In una storia della Kathmandu ha già subito un grave di un grande disastro come un terremoto. Il 25 aprile 2015, il Nepal ha colpito 7,8 magnitudini degli shock. Con questo evento, l'enorme numero di sofferenze umane e la massiccia perdita della vita e della proprietà delle persone. Questa ricerca evidenzia l'importanza dello scenario post-disastro, le criticità pre-terremoto e la valutazione dopo la ripresa per la ricostruzione post-disastro. E la tesi ha tentato di affrontare la riqualificazione di Kathmandu come un processo di rimodellamento di una città per creare posti migliori che possano finalmente rispondere ai bisogni della gente e dell'ambiente della società. Sviluppa le linee guida per la ricostruzione di Kathmandu, che fungerà da riferimento per i responsabili politici, i pianificatori cittadini e i professionisti dello sviluppo urbano che lavorano per lo sviluppo e la gestione della città.

Abstract
Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal. The city now faces a wide range of urban issues, the rapidly increasing the city population and unplanned urbanization have severely degraded the urban environment, resulting in a dense urban areas with little or no public open space, a lack of sufficient greeneries and green spaces, inaccessible road networks and housing development, waste management and air pollution, and water scarcity. The Kathmandu is in a very high seismic zone from natural hazards. In a history of the Kathmandu already suffered a serious of a big disaster such as an earthquake. In 25th April 2015, Nepal had hit by 7.8 magnitudes of the shocks. By this event, the enormous numbers of human suffering and massive loss of people’s life and property. This research highlights the importance of the post-disaster scenario, pre-earthquake criticalities, and assessment after the recovery for the post-disaster reconstruction. And thesis has attempted to address Kathmandu’s redevelopment as a process of reshaping a city to create better places that can finally respond to the needs of the people and the environment of the society. It develops the reconstruction guidelines for Kathmandu, which will act as a reference to the policy makers, city planners and urban development professionals working for the development and management of the city.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
