| description | Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh and it has a population of 12 million.
During the last three decades, while the city population grew over 7%,
bastee (slum and squatter) population of the city grew from 1.0 million in
1990 to 3.4 million in 2005. Several policy approaches were adopted to deal
with bastee settlements of Dhaka since 1975. These policies approaches
were not very effective, because the scale of the problem is very large, which
provides future challenges to deal with the bastee situation. |
