About  .

  The Book

This book describes in detail the history of urbanization of Pokhara town, which is the fastest growing and one of the best-known towns in Nepal. The extraordinary history of growth and change over the last four decades is covered in the book. The process of urbanization and the consequent transformations in socio-economic, political, cultural and environmental aspects of the town are described. The folk and written literature, tourism and the interaction of the town with its hinterlands are other issues covered in the book. It is hoped that this study of transformations of Pokhara should shed light on the process of urbanization in Nepal.
