1. Background
Rationale of the Study in the context of Bangladesh
Urban LGs often struggles to
accommodate the growing
population with basic facilities e.g.
housing, public transport, water
supply and waste management
A significant proportion of the
population are forced to live in
squalid urban slums
Among all SDGs, Bangladesh's
average performance towards
achieving SDG11 compared to
other SDGs is the second
lowest as well as in a
stagnating trend (Sachs et al.,
2018).
urban poverty rate remains at
18.9% while urban extreme poverty
rate at 7.6% (HIES 2016)
air quality
The
(Dhaka
Tribune, 2018) and safety in Dhaka
(The Daily Star, 2017) is ranked
mong the worst in the world
Urban LGs
in
Bangladesh
Lack of integrated authority
of the urban LGs is likely to
hamper
sustainable

Bangladesh
Taking cognisance of these realities in Bangladesh, this study focuses on urban
LGs in the context of the SDGs.
