Bangladesh programs / WEPP
Results are presented of a 1991 survey of slums (defined as areas with substandard housing, extreme population densities, and poor sewerage and water supply) in the Dhaka metropolitan area. The report includes: (1) a general profile of slums and slum dwellers in terms (inter alia) of land ownership patterns, household size, population density, and the topography of slum sites; (2) patterns and growth of slum settlements, covering the spatial distribution of slums, sources of slum populations, and the stability of slum and squatter settlements; and (3) slum infrastructure, with emphasis on quality of housing, access to water, sewers, electricity, and gas, and access to primary schools. The survey identified 2,156 slums, 81% of which had been established since 1971, the year Bangladesh became independent. Of the total, 75% were on private land, although slums on public lands were larger and had a more stable population. While acknowledging the difficulties of documenting slum conditions, the report finds environmental conditions in slums to be extremely poor, characterized by very high population density (225,000/sq km), poor housing (93% of houses were constructed of tin, wood, bamb

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
