Major Transport Challenges
– Private sector dominated Public
transportation, No government direct investment
in public transport.
– Multiple road & transport related Institutions Multiple road & transport related Institutions
without proper coordination
– Infrastructure financing
– New technologies.
Challenges
• Unbalanced Urban Structure : Economic activities
primarily concentrated in Kathmandu and periphery and large
urban centers, large number of municipalities still exhibit rural
characteristics
• Weak Rural-Urban Linkage: Small towns suffer from • Weak Rural-Urban Linkage: Small towns suffer from
the minimal investment from public and private sectors
resulting into inadequate development of physical
infrastructure
• Environmental Degradation: With the encroachment
to the public land and natural resources, inefficient or
inadequate road networks, loss of agriculture land, squatters
problems 18
Challenges contd..
• Disintegrated Policies : Weak horizontal linkage with the
Ministry of Local Development, Ministry of Physical Planning and
Works and National Planning Commission resulting
disintegration in the policy formulation and implementation
• Urban Poverty : Resulted by the inadequate employment
opportunities, high land prices, lack of accessibility of basic opportunities, high land prices, lack of accessibility of basic
urban services, pressure of migration due to even less
employment opportunities in the rural areas
• Weak Municipal Capacity : The capacity of the
municipalities, with respect to administrative, technical and
financial capabilities, have not developed to cope with the
increasing demand for additional or improvement of services.
Moreover, there has been total absence of elected body for
several years. 19
