I am loving what the City corporation has done with the streets of Dhaka. Flower beds and plants are everywhere. Streets are very clean as well.

Dhaka City planners designed a layout to decorate the capital in high-rolling glamour through architectural landscaping.

The process started with the Dhaka Urban Transport Project (DUTP), a tk 1200 crore WB-funded project, the Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) and the Roads and Highways Department (RHD). They, together, undertook the repair and construction of 2447.69 kilometres of wide and narrow lanes, along with 163 kilometres of footpath. In addition to this, a Tk 150-crore DCC project for the greening of Dhaka through planting trees, and adding colour with flowering plants.

Under the project, almost all important medians and road islands stretching from Bangabhaban to airport have been brought under fresh plantation. A total of 71 public and private organisations are implementing the project.

The authorities have divided the city into 109 zones and asked the executing agencies to beautify these areas. The private organisations will plant trees on medians and road dividers and maintain the plants for the next four years.

Besides, two parks have been handed over to private organisations for eight years for maintenance and beautification.

The government is not spending in this project. Government agencies and private organisations are implementing this plan with their own funds. Dhaka City Corporation is just is co-ordinating the whole project.

The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is likely to award the best organisations for their efforts in planting and maintaining the medians of the city roads.
DCC allowed the organisations to put a maximum of three advertisement boards in their designated areas on completion of the beautification work. The size of the billboards will be approved by the city corporation.

Bertez, I am very impressed with the work Dhaka City Corporation has done myself. It's not just a few streets but rather the whole city has turned nice.

Wow its so clean under the flyovers. Usually when flyovers are built the surroundings areas become very dirty and ugly but this is really nice. Anyways i am going to dhaka next summer so wondering what other projects will be done by then?

Zaki you will be amazed at the rapid development of Dhaka. I go there every year and I still cant keep up with all the changes.You can expect to see a lot of shiny new shopping malls and high rises. There are 4 brand new hotels (3 five star), five international standard mega hospitals, huge flyover over jatrabari(under construction), a massive shopping mall called Jamuna Future City in Bashundhara etc to name but a few.

What a smart idea! Cities that are strapped for cash should definitely do this.
