This study investigates the projected outcome of the Bangladesh government’s decision to relocate the Hazaribagh tanneries outside Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Ever since the early ...industrialisation of Bangladesh, leather processing industries have played a significant economic role. In Dhaka, these industries are mainly concentrated in Hazaribagh, an important area in the southwestern part of the city. Hazaribagh is a junction connecting the new township with the old one. However, the use of inferior technologies, coupled with the absence of proper industrial waste-management and waste-treatment facilities, have destroyed the ecology of the Hazaribagh area and badly impacted its surroundings. Consequently, moving the tanneries from Hazaribagh and then redeveloping the area offers a unique opportunity in the country's sustainable urban regeneration. Regenerating the Hazaribagh urban brownfield can serve as a model for sustainable twenty-first-century neighbourhoods, incorporating contemporary facilities and environmentally friendly elements for healthy living. This study analyses the Hazaribagh area’s potential as an example of a planned sustainable area for the entire city, free from the severe pollution that it is notorious for.
V članku je predstavljena raziskava predvidenih posledic odločitve bangladeške vlade, da strojarne v Hazaribaghu preseli iz Dake, bangladeškega glavnega mesta. Usnjarska industrija ima že od zgodnje ...industrializacije pomembno vlogo v gospodarstvu države. V Daki je ta industrija nakopičena na območju Hazaribagha v jugozahodnem predelu mesta, ki je stičišče novega in starega dela mesta. Uporaba tehnologije slabe kakovosti, neustrezno ravnanje z industrijskimi odpadki in pomanjkanje naprav za obdelavo odpadkov so uničili ekologijo Hazaribagha in močno obremenili okolico. Selitev strojarn iz Hazaribagha in sanacija tega območja ponujata edinstveno priložnost za trajnostno mestno prenovo v državi. Prenova degradiranega območja v Hazaribaghu lahko služi kot model trajnostnih sosesk 21. stoletja, ki vključujejo vse sodobne objekte in okolju prijazne sestavine, potrebne za zdravo bivanje. V raziskavi avtorja analizirata potencial soseske Hazaribagh, da kot primer načrtovanega trajnostnega območja, ki ga ne zaznamuje močna onesnaženost, po kateri ta lokacija trenutno slovi, postane zgled za vse mesto.
