Introduction: This report presents the reviews of municipal-level policies and strategies of Dhulikhel municipality of Kavrepalanchowk district and Thimi municipality of Bhaktapur district. Both districts belong to the Bagmati province of central Nepal. Since the municipalities are considered as cities or urban areas by the government (see Planning Norms and Standards 2013, p.2), this review analyses the “urban development priorities” of these municipalities focusing on infrastructure development, social development, and economic development. This report has two parts. In the first part, we review the urban priorities of Dhulikhel municipality, with a short note on Kavrebhanjyang, the potential study site. In the second part, we review the priorities of Thimi municipality. This report only presents the reviews of local-level policies of Dhulikhel Municipality.
