Nehemiah wanted the walls of Jerusalem rebuilt for a few reasons. The most central was that Jerusalem needed to be defended against attack. The Jewish people only just returning to their national homeland after a 50 year exile in Babylon, and the locals saw the Jewish return as threatening and sought to attack it and nip it in the bud. Nehemiah had to rebuild the walls in order to protect his people. Another similar reason is that he had to rally the morale of the people, who were quite despondent and expected the return to be miraculous and easy. It turned out to be hard, rocky, and economically draining. In order to keep the faith, Nehemiah had to accomplish something big and make the former capital of the Jewish people a respectable city once again. For that to happen, it had to be walled, since no respectable city was without a wall in those days.

In the year 458ac, Ezra was authorized to travel to Jerusalem who had a decree from Xerxes who dialed with bringing back the Law of Moses. In the year 445 ac, Nehemiah had the order to construct the walls of the city. The problem was the Samaritans that did not want the change.

The renaming of the city as Aelia Capitoline occurred after the Bar Kokhba revolt of 132-36.
Ezra was presumably active during the time of Persian king Artaxerxes II, but some think he was active during the reign of Artaxerxes I which would make him a contemporary of Nehemiah. The Book of Ezra (7:1ff) gives Ezra the same genealogy as 1 Chronicles (5:34ff) gave Jesus ben Yehozedek 100 years earlier, apparently making them brothers in spite of the difference of so many years. There must at the very least have been some confusion about the historicity of Ezra. With the many parallels between the actions of Ezra and Nehemiah, some believe it is possible that Ezra was a priestly fiction. Ezra 5:2 says that Zerubbabel began to build the Temple, completing it (Ezra 6:15) in the sixth year of the reign of Darius, obviously before the time of Nehemiah or Ezra. Nehemiah 6:15 says the city wall was completed by Nehemiah in 52 days.

Upong hearing from his friend that his home land had been destroyed, Nehemiah immediately recognized his role in rebuilding the city of Judah. He confessed and repenteted of his and of the children of Israel's sins before; fasted and prayed for God to open his ears and his eys to hear his prayer. God gave him favor with the king who was Nehemiah's boss and made it possible for Nehemiah to return home to rebuild the city and the wall around the city of Judah.So, the short answer to the question is that Nehemiah was called by God in nehemiah's spirit. Please read his prayer below and it will all make sense.Nehemiah 1:1-11 (Nehemiah's Prayer to God)1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certainmen of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,5 ¶ And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.Anya
