Projects

This project explores the role of heritage in risk preparedness, disaster response and recovery, and long-term disaster risk management planning. It also focuses on how heritage can be used to better strengthen communities’ resilience, an integral part of sustainable development. Experiences across various jurisdictions in the Kathmandu Valley present contemporary understandings of stress, adaptation, wellness, and resource dynamics, which are sparsely documented or disseminated, especially due to Covid 19 pandemic. It aims to bring together existing partnerships into a wider stakeholder network to enable the flow of ideas, resources, and capacities around community-led ‘resilient’ practices for post-disaster rebuilding.
