Original Abstract

Conference abstract for The International Conference on UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and Social Innovation (ICUNSSI) at Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), Philippines. This conference paper presents the Samdupling settlement in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, as a case study to illustrate its transformation from refugee camp into fully-fledged city district. Established in the 1960s for Tibetan refugee, Samdupling initially faced numerous challenges typical of informal settements, including inadequate infrastructure, sub-standard housing, and limited access to public services. Despite these challenges, Samdupling has undergone a significant transformation in four distrinct stages. This progress has been driven by factors such as infrastructure development, socio-economic integration, and urban consolidation, with community resilience as the basis for this development.
