Dhaka's Changing Landscape: Prospects for Economic Development, Social Change, and Shared Prosperity

The book narrates how opportunities and challenges of rapid urbanization in Dhaka are translated into realizing dreams of better lives and livelihoods, and prospects for a shared future for city dwellers - poor-non-poor, men-women, young-old, migrant-non-migrant. By defining the way in which cities should be planned and managed to best promote sustainable and equitable urbanization and integrating it with the national development agenda, this book has provided a road map that would create equal prospects for everyone to benefit from its prosperity.
