Urbanization in Bangladesh is accelerating, prompting significant investments in urban development and infrastructure. The government has drafted a new strategy paper aiming for an entire digital economy and innovative governance by 2030, which includes urban planning and housing construction sectors focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability.
This approach addresses the challenges of rapid urbanization and aligns with environmental sustainability goals. The World Bank emphasizes that green growth is essential for Bangladesh to achieve its vision of becoming an upper-middle-income country by 2031, highlighting the importance of sustainable urban development.
