I've had a lot of time to think about infrastructure development in Nepal, especially in Kathmandu. I would like to share few thoughts.
- build traditional looking houses but structurally modern.
- limit houses to be only two or three stories tall depending on if its near historically significant places.
- make provision for actual sidewalk in front of houses, not haphazard mess we see in the streets.
- create standards for buildings, and enforce those standards.
- create proper zoning laws, giving emphasis to open spaces, parks, wide multi-lane roads.
- big sewage tunnels (like 7 feet diameter) on both sides of the rivers so human waste or sewage is not dumped directly in the rivers.
- make provision and environment (like public exchange) for Nepalese living outside to invest in hydropower, water, basic services.
Sometimes I feel like going to Nepal and run for mayor of Kathmandu to make positive changes.
