Kathmandu, Nepal, 14 July 2022 – Officials in Nepal,

a country whose urban population has increased nearly four-fold in a decade,

are

better equipped to provide harmonised nationwide urban planning and

development

in the aftermath of a workshop provided by UN-Habitat.

The four-day event this week, delivered in partnership with the Central

Bureau of Statistics and European Commission, delved around the

application of the degree of urbanization (DEGURBA) for production of

comparable urban data.
