  • Implications for Housing Development Projects in Dhaka, Bangladesh
    Alam Bandung J of Global South (2018) 5:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40728-018-0046-0 RESEARCH Open Access Rapid urbanization and changing land values in mega cities: implications for housing development projects in Dhaka, Bangladesh Md. Jahangir Alam* *Correspondence: jahangirsociology@gmail. Abstract com This paper explores changing land values in the process of rapid urbanization in Dhaka, Department of Sociology, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh and its implications for urban land management and administration in Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh the megacity. The study reveals that substantial increase in land values have resulted in land speculation among real estate and individual developers. Land values have increased by an average of 22.26% per year between 1990 and 2000, while the period spanning from 2000 to 2010 saw about 74% of yearly increase in Dhaka. The study revealed that due to increasing land values, prospective real estate developers are tempted to build housing in restricted areas defned by Dhaka metropolitan devel- opment plan such as food zones, lakes, canals, ditch and drainage channels etc. The paper proposes a re-look at the causes of increase in land values and land speculations and the resulting environmental damage pointed out in this study as part of a broad urban land and environmental management strategy in rapidly growing megacities. Keywords: Land value, Housing projects, Real estate developer, Dhaka, Bangladesh Background Urbanisation has become one of the greatest environmental challenges in the world today. Largely, the term urbanisation refers to the alteration of an agricultural economy to that of a manufacturing and service-oriented economy (Mandal 2000 cited in Dewan et al.

  • Managing Megacities: a Case Study of Metropolitan Regional Governance for Dhaka
    Managing Megacities: A Case Study of Metropolitan Regional Governance for Dhaka. Sirajul Haq Talukder B.Sc (Hons.), M.Sc (Geography), University of Dhaka M.A. (Local & Regional Development), Institute of Social Studies (ISS), The Hague This Thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University, Australia January 2006 Declaration I declare that this is my own account of my research. Sirajul Haq Talukder ii Abstract Megacities of over 10 million population are a phenomenon not seen before in human history. Among 19 Megacities, 14 are in developing countries and 11 are in Asia. Dhaka represents one of the most extreme examples of rapid Megacity growth having a mere 129,000 at the start of the 20th century, 417,000 by 1950 and more than 12 million in 2001. How can a city be governed that has increased 30 times in size over a person’s lifetime? This thesis makes a case for integrated Metropolitan Regional Governance (MRG) of the Extended Metropolitan Region of Dhaka. The growing problems of Asian Megacities in general and Dhaka in particular are outlined, showing how governance has developed in a sectoral and national way rather than being place oriented. This has fractured and become totally inadequate as a means of solving the deep environmental, social and economic problems of the Megacity. The governance issues of Megacities are traced to the primary problem of the need for integrative functions in strategic and statutory planning as well as development facilitation of the Extended Metropolitan Region (EMR). Ten core principles of Metropolitan Regional Governance are established.

The population in Dhaka and other megacities has increased from 7 to 50 million during the last four decades. The rapid rate of urban population growth, along with the extreme paucity of real-estate for new infrastructure development or upgrading existing facilities, is already exacerbating the situation for the city planners and exerting tremendous pressure to come-up with viable solutions.

The high rate of urbanization has caused waterlogging and urban flooding in many parts of Dhaka city. Therefore, the study is Citation: Moniruzzaman, M.; Thakur, undertaken to quantify the changes in land use/land cover (LULC) and urban runoff extent based on P.K.; Kumar, P.; Ashraful Alam, M.; the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Curve Number (CN) during 1978–2018.
