Abstract

The chapter delves into the complexities of urbanization, particularly in rapidly urbanizing countries like Nepal, and the challenges it poses, such as inadequate urban services and increased disaster risks. It introduces citizen science as a powerful tool for urban management, showcasing successful initiatives like the LightsOn campaign in Kathmandu, where digital volunteers mapped streetlights to improve urban services. The chapter also discusses the importance of open data and citizen-generated information in disaster risk reduction and environmental management, providing a comprehensive overview of how these tools can be harnessed to create more resilient and sustainable cities.
