The objective of the essay is to create awareness regarding the environmental issues in Dhaka. The types of pollution focused in this assignment are mainly air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and soil pollution and other topics are related to save Dhaka city from many vital issues. This essay identifies these problems and their underlying causes. Further, it addresses the major problems created in Dhaka city due to pollution and how it can be prevented. Although the focus of this paper is the area within the DCC limits, we cannot forget about the close interrelationship of DCC with the other municipalities, or with the surrounding region within the megacity. Indeed, Dhaka. s functional hinterland is the whole of Bangladesh. Dhaka will remain the most important urban agglomeration in the country and one of the largest in the world. Given the political system, economic situation, and environmental condition, it is impossible to restrict migration into Dhaka, and therefore the city is likely to continue to grow rapidly for the foreseeable future. There are many other issues to be tackled that concern the future of Dhaka. A number of them are reflected in recently adopted policies and plans. We should carefully review these Topics and declare our total commitment to implement them. If we fail to do this, we have failed Dhaka. Finally, as indicated earlier, the planning and development process of Dhaka (or any other city) cannot reach its desired objectives without direct and total participation of its residents. Equally important is efficient city administration, including planning, development, and service delivery. Collected by RASHED
