Bangladesh: Small community grants with big, green effects in growing cities
In Bangladesh, rapid and largely unplanned urbanisation has reduced critical green spaces in cities, leaving communities with fewer public recreational areas and increasing their vulnerability to flooding and other environmental challenges. The population increase in smaller municipalities, known as pourashavas, comes with many challenges that demand urgent investment in climate- and water-resilient urban infrastructure. In the expanding pourashavas of Keshabpur and Raozan, severe flooding has occurred, and water management challenges have worsened. Poor drainage, sanitation and waste disposal practices are now major problems that could lead to water insecurity and reduced quality of life.
