The project plans to enhance the liveability of the four selected neighbourhoods by improving parks, playgrounds, waterfronts, streets, sidewalks, and public buildings such as community centres with integrated public facilities. The project aims to cater to the needs of women, youths, elderly and disabled, who often refrain from using public amenities. But, its infrastructure could not keep up with its population growth,” said World Bank Country Director for Bangladesh and Bhutan Robert Saum. He said that the project will appraise, design, and implement schemes to enhance public spaces and address challenges of unplanned urbanization in the four neighbourhoods. The project will help increase green open spaces by enhancing selected parks, streets and waterfront areas, in both low-income neighbourhoods and downtown areas.
