Building back better after the 2015 Nepal earthquakelaying the foundation for resilience /[electronic resource] :by Chandra Bahadur Shrestha. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2022. - xxiv, 194 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Disaster risk reduction, methods, approaches and practices,2196-4114. - Disaster risk reduction, methods, approaches and practices..

- Implications of Steering Committee decisions on private housing reconstruction -- Linking post-Gorkha earthquake housing damage assessment with Municipality's building standards -- Transparency and financial inclusion in Nepal's reconstruction -- Understanding building code non-compliance for setting future strategies -- How can disaster prone mountainous municipalities create resilient settlements -- Scoping urban regeneration from post-earthquake reconstruction lens -- Aid Effectiveness in Nepal's Post Earthquake Reconstruction -- Contribution of Post Gorkha Earthquake Reconstruction towards localizing Sendai Framework of Action -- A Comparative Overview of Nepal's Reconstruction in Global Context -- Assessing impact of post Gorkha Earthquake recovery and reconstruction.

This book explores the reconstruction after the 2015 Gorkha Nepal earthquake, on the basis of the author's first-hand experience that has been validated with empirical evidence. Unlike other advocacy and academic literature, the book takes readers close to the ground where the activities took place. This book describes Nepal's efforts to rebuild private housing from the preparatory to the concluding stages, and the obstacles faced and overcome along the way. It assesses the consequences of the policy level decisions and also examines the relevance, utility and future use of damage assessment surveys that were carried out in the country. In addition, lessons from the housing grant payment through the banking system, impending reasons for housing non-compliance to building standards, experimentation with resilient resettlements and unresolved issue of urban regeneration have been also delved in. The ground realities revealed that the aid architecture requires further carving out. The last three chapters have attempted to capture the macro level picture of the reconstruction and recovery endeavors: contribution to national economy, structural resilience and comparative overview of Nepal's delivery in global context. As an intimately involved professional with the 2015 Nepal Earthquake, Dr Shrestha is the authority from whom a holistic understanding can be attained regarding the response of Nepal's state and society to the Earthquake. His study will have ramification at national and global scale in handling with inescapable natural calamities. Kanak M. Dixit, Journalist and Heritage Conservationist Dr. Shrestha's book provides rare insight and perspective on the issues and challenges of governance during the complex journey to reconstruction and future resilience, reflecting his long and intense engagement in the post disaster recovery and reconstruction. Vivek Rawal, Director, People-in-Centre, Ahmedabad, India This collection of balanced insightful essays methodically explores topics such as government decisions and aid during the earthquake recovery combining lived experience and a research approach to reveal lessons and future considerations. Loren Lockwood, Former National Coordinator, Housing Recovery and Reconstruction Platform Nepal.
