But over time rapid urbanization led to t he emergence of commercial and industrial activities within t he area. With little attention from t he authorities , t his area soon began to deteriorate environmentally causing a severe s train on t he infrastructure and services. Hence t he old core now faces major problems Jike inadequate urban services that has lead to a degraded living environment. The research study area is one of the extended integrated pilot project area of the PCDP/UDLE and represents a typical inner city area in Lalitpur facing the problem of deteriorating urban basic services such as water supply, sanitation and solid waste . This study is aimed at preparing a feasible implementation plan for t he study area in order to upgrade the deteriorating urban basic services such as water supply, sanitation and so l id waste management , Keeping in view the overal1 situation of the city level. The constraints , needs, preferences and priority of the inhabitants in the present socio-economic context within the area under study have been studied in detail . The various activities, approaches and problems and past achievements of t he concerned organizations as wel1 as NGO' s involved in improving the basic services has been considered. Secondary information and data we re collected from related organizations whereas primary data and information were collected using different techniques i. e . observations, detail discussions, and a socio-economic survey. Collected information and data were analyzed in both descriptive as well as quantitative terms . The findings of analysis have been used as a base for preparing the out 1ine implementation plan which emphasizes on incremental improvement of the area. This has been done by setting minimum standards , dividing the resources and responsibilities be tween various organizations and by giving importance on community level decisions. The out 1ine implementation plan has been divided into three different l eve ls in order to achieves set objectives gradually. Therefore, first level is selected for the preparation of action plan based on the criteria that it is relatively less dependent on t he city level decisions. The financial assessment shows that there 1ies the possibi1ity for internal subsidies and external support f or t he improvement works . The result of the study indicates that there is a potential for improving the urban services through stepped implement at ion scheme with greater participation from t he community and support from the related agencies, this process could be called "Mutual Multi Agencies Approach" . It is hoped t hat t he proposed act ion p l an wi11 provide a base for preparing detailed organizational and financial plan for implementation.
