Abstract
This policy note focuses on analyzing
critical institutional and planning issues affecting
Dhaka's Metropolitan Area, and suggests policy
recommendations for introducing sound urban environmental
planning to improve the quality of life by mitigating and
reversing environmental degradation. The report concludes

planning and environmental management that focus on
developing the Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan Land Use
Map, by demarcating and publishing notification of
ecologically and environmentally sensitive areas; resolving
conflict arising from multiple functions of Rajdhani Unnayan
Katripakkha; strengthening the detailed area plan planning
process, engaging stakeholders in urban planning, and
bringing other actors on board.
