Mega projects alone will not suffice and a specific action plan is needed to make Dhaka a livable city, said Environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan  on Monday.

"We need more green spaces, open areas for breathing, seating spaces, and opportunities for youth to engage in sports," she said.

Rizwana Hasan further stressed that Dhaka must be designed for everyone. "To build a sustainable and environmentally friendly city, the involvement of youth is crucial. Their creativity can make the city more livable. "

She also proposed the inclusion of youth in RAJUK's activities.

The Adviser called for ensuring the rights of slum dwellers and those displaced by river erosion in development plans.

The event's Principal speaker was Adilur Rahman Khan, Adviser to the Ministry of Housing and Public Works and the Ministry of Industry.

The discussion was chaired by Secretary of the Ministry of Housing and Public Works, Md. Hamidur Rahman Khan. Remarks were also made by UN Resident Coordinator in Bangladesh, Gwen Lewis, and Additional Secretary Shakila Zerin Ahmed. The keynote presentation was delivered by Joint Secretary Naila Ahmed.
