Toward Great Dhaka
Author: Julia Bird
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 146481239X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
A unique strategic opportunity beckons Bangladesh. Dhaka, the economic powerhouse of the country, stands on the cusp of a dramatic transformation that could make it much more prosperous and livable. Today, Dhaka is prone to flooding, congestion, and messiness, to a point that is clogging its growth. But toward its east, where two major highway corridors will one day intersect, is a vast expanse of largely rural land. And much of it is within 6 kilometers of the most valuable parts of the city. The time to make the most of this eastward opportunity is now. Many parts of East Dhaka are already being developed in a haphazard way at an alarmingly rapid pace. Private developers are buying land and filling it with sand so they can build and sell new houses and apartments. Canals and ponds are disappearing, and the few narrow roads crossing the area are being encroached by construction. This spontaneous development could soon make East Dhaka look like the messy western part of the city, and retrofitting it later will be more difficult and costlier than properly planning and developing it now. Toward Great Dhaka: A New Urban Development Paradigm Eastward seeks to analyze how the opportunity of East Dhaka could be realized. Using state-of-the-art modeling techniques, the study simulates population, housing, economic activity, and commuting times across the 266 unions that constitute Greater Dhaka. It does so under various scenarios for the development of East Dhaka, but always assessing the implications for the entire city. The simulations suggest that pursuing a strategic approach to the development of East Dhaka would make Greater Dhaka a much more productive and livable city than continuing with business as usual. Based on current trends, Greater Dhaka would have a population of 25 million in 2035 and an income per capita of US$8,000 at 2015 prices. However, embracing a strategic approach would add 5 million people to the city. And, it would be a more productive city, with nearly 1.8 million more jobs and an income per capita of more than US$9,200 at 2015 prices, enough to put Dhaka on the map of global cities.

Toward Country-led Development
Author: John Eriksson
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 9780821356692
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
The Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF), a World Bank aid policy approach, has become an important influence on the global development agenda since its launch in 1999. It is based on four principles: a long-term holistic development framework; results orientation; country ownership; and country led-partnership. This report contains findings from five case study evaluations of CDF pilot implementation in Bolivia, Ghana, Romania, Uganda and Vietnam, and from a non-CDF pilot study in Burkina Faso chosen as a control. A World Bank synthesis evaluation report on the CDF is also available (ISBN 0821356437).

Towards Democratic Development States in Southern Africa
Author: Godfrey Kanyenze
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 9956764396
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The dawn of the twenty-first century heralded an apparent change of fortunes for most sub-Saharan African economies, with annual growth averaging over 5% for fifteen years. However, this was not accompanied by structural transformation: poverty, food insecurity, unemployment and inequality persist. Structural transformation has not been - and indeed cannot be - delivered by market forces and neo-liberal economic policies; it requires a state committed to development, and to achieving it in a democratic way. To what extent do the countries of Southern Africa exhibit the characteristics of such a developmental state? What steps, if any, do they need to take in order to become one? The book answers the questions with respect to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Angola and Malawi. Godfrey Kanyenze and his colleagues have assembled a distinguished team of writers to take the temperature of the regional political economy, and chart a path for its future development.
