Why was the Town Development Act of Nepal reformed in 2045?

The Town Development Act of Nepal underwent a significant reform in 2045 due to several reasons. First and foremost, the previous version of the Act, which was enacted in 2033, had become outdated and did not adequately address the emerging challenges and complexities of urbanization in Nepal. The rapid urban growth and increasing population in major cities demanded a more comprehensive and modern approach to urban development. Moreover, the previous Act lacked effective mechanisms for coordination and cooperation between different levels of government, hindering efficient urban planning and development. The reform aimed to address these shortcomings and bring about a more responsive, inclusive, and sustainable urban development framework that could effectively address the needs of Nepal's growing urban population. Additionally, the reform also aimed to incorporate the principles of good governance, decentralization, and participatory decision-making to promote citizen engagement and ensure accountability in town development processes. Ultimately, the reformation of the Town Development Act aimed to create a more effective and responsive legal framework to guide urban development in Nepal.
