Failure to respond to this phenomenon is threatening to human begins and integrity of states. Such concern is critical for Nepal especially when it is entering into the global market and building partnerships with international communities on different fronts. In response to this global change, domestic need and finally acknowledging the changing nature of the specialization within architecture, planning and development professions, KhEC has started a Post Gradate course, Master of Science Degree on 'Urban Design and Conservation'. (MSc.-UDC) - a combination of dual degrees into and one master program- the first of this kind in Nepal from February , 2007 to deal with this ever changing context in a critical , dynamic and creative way for the program is to prepare students to become urban design and conservation experts by providing a multi-disciplinary professional education that teaches students to define issues, solve problems and implement solutions to improve the quality of the natural and built environment , in ways that promote social justice, cultural continuation , economic and ecological sustainability and disaster resilient community building.
