Objectives

To identify and understand the key elements and environmental attributes of Rupsha Ghat area contributing the character/quality of the area. To explore redevelopment options which are both economically feasible for the government (KDA or any) and conducive to revitalization of local and city life as well. To search for design solutions that will cater to both Rupsah’s social historical continuity and its new needs.

Though Khulna became Metropolitan City at 1984 it still contains 48.59 percent green land(Vegetation) and only 35.62 percent build-up area. The build-up area is mainly concentrated in two clusters. The first cluster is around Khalishpur area and another cluster is around (Central Business District) CBD area. Also a linear growth pattern along Rupsha and Bhairab River is prominent in the growth pattern of Khulna City.

Design issue

When an urban project starts it takes more time then other architectural project. Some time the project build in different phase and for this an urban project consist many modification. So when we starts this project we think it is necessary for studying the situation after completion. Here we take 50 years

KHULNA “50 years” later

KHULNA “50 years” later city expansion issue When a city build along a river, it serves as Transportation West water disposal Solid west disposal For the city. So the city couldn’t expand without help of the river. So expansion of the city must be developed along both side of the river.

DEVELOPMENT OPPPORTUNITY

Existing situation on KHULNA Economic status Economy of kHULNA mainly derived by the agro based industry like Sea food processing industry Shrimp culture Jute Industry (nearly abandonation) After abandonation of jute industry KHULNA is in urban situation

NEW PRODUCTS FOR EXPORT Export Policy 2003-06 Export Promotion Bureau, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Design issue

Only through changes in RMG industry the development of export trading would be an absurd idea, rather it would be difficult even to survive in the present situation. The list of export items have to be expanded exploring the non-conventional sectors like ICT, light engineering and auto-parts, agroprocessing and pharmaceuticals along with finding their appropriate markets. And if the export trading is not expanded, the desired national growth could not be achieved.

Project Name Bangladesh-Export Diversification Sector Private Sector WORLD BANK Project No BDPE49790 Implementing Agencies Government of Bangladesh (GOB) Ministry of Commerce Dhaka, Bangladesh Cost and Financing Total Cost $31 million IDA $21 million GOB/Beneficiaries $10 million

To give balance to the export industry and compensate for revenue loss in the garment sector, Bangladesh needed to increase the diversity of its products to make them more attractive t o t h e i n t e r n a t i o n a l m a r k e t .

The goals of the project are to increase the range, depth, and thus growth rate of net export production, as a major engine of growth for an economy with limited domestic purchasing power.

This creates new jobs in rural areas and generates income for poor families. An emphasis is placed on training women, who make up 80 percent of the cooperative workforce.

Pedestrian Bridges What works; What doesn't. Pedestrian bridges remove all conflicts with traffic on the road below. They would seem to be the perfect solution for getting pedestrians across the street. But are they always appropriate? There are three main situations where a grade crossing is not possible and pedestrian bridges are essential: 1) Crossing interstate highways, where stopping traffic is not an option; 2) Crossing rivers, ravines, and other natural physical obstacles; Pedestrian bridge across the Androscoggin River in Brunswick, Maine. This historic structure took workers from their homes north of the river to the mills south of the river. 3) Crossing railroad switchyards, where parked trains block the path and moving trains frequently shuttle back and forth on multiple tracks. Pedestrian bridge across a switchyard in Missoula, Montana. The bridge features both a winding ramp and an elevator at each end, and observing platforms for railfans at the midpoint. There are situations where a grade crossing is possible, but a pedestrian bridge will be used voluntarily by most pedestrians and will be a good investment: 1) The road is depressed in a cut, so the pedestrian bridge is at grade level and seems more convenient than descending to road level; This street dips below grade in Lansing, Michigan, to allow a mid-block pedestrian plaza to cross over it at grade. The city also has crosswalks at adjacent intersections where the street is back at grade level. 2) There is a natural "desire line" that can be used for a gradual ramp up to the bridge without switchbacks or detours, such as where a rail-trail crosses a road. There are situations where a grade crossing is possible, but a pedestrian bridge will be used voluntarily by most pedestrians and will be a good investment: 1) The road is depressed in a cut, so the pedestrian bridge is at grade level and seems more convenient than descending to road level; This street dips below grade in Lansing, Michigan, to allow a mid-block pedestrian plaza to cross over it at grade. The city also has crosswalks at adjacent intersections where the street is back at grade level. 2) There is a natural "desire line" that can be used for a gradual ramp up to the bridge without switchbacks or detours, such as where a rail-trail crosses a road. The Capital Crescent Trail in Bethesda, Maryland, ramps up to a bridge over River Road. Trail users do not perceive the ramp as inconvenient because it is along their natural line of travel, so most people elect to use the bridge.

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

There are situations where a grade crossing is possible, but a pedestrian bridge will be used voluntarily by most pedestrians and will be a good investment: 1) The road is depressed in a cut, so the pedestrian bridge is at grade level and seems more convenient than descending to road level; This street dips below grade in Lansing, Michigan, to allow a mid-block pedestrian plaza to cross over it at grade. The city also has crosswalks at adjacent intersections where the street is back at grade level. 2) There is a natural "desire line" that can be used for a gradual ramp up to the bridge without switchbacks or detours, such as where a rail-trail crosses a road. The Capital Crescent Trail in Bethesda, Maryland, ramps up to a bridge over River Road. Trail users do not perceive the ramp as inconvenient because it is along their natural line of travel, so most people elect to use the bridge. There are situations where bridges built to replace a grade crossing fail miserably. 1) Long winding ramps, stairs, or elevators, are perceived as inherently inconvenient by most pedestrians when a grade-level crossing is possible. This pedestrian bridge connects Prince George's Plaza with the nearby Metrorail station in Hyattsville, Maryland. The design of the bridge and its environment makes it seem inconvenient to many pedestrians. Half of the pedestrians crossing here cross at grade level in the shadow of the bridge. 2) In addition, because of their expense, bridges are usually far apart. Most pedestrians will not voluntarily accept the added inconvenience of walking ten or twenty minutes out of their way just to get to a bridge, and instead will cross at grade at the nearest convenient location. Rather than create bridges that have both a convenient design and a convenient location, some transportation departments erect fences and barriers to force pedestrians to use the inferior bridges they do build. This Berlin-Wall approach to pedestrian control represents a failure to understand what pedestrians need. Would a majority of pedestrians use a proposed bridge without being forced to by a fence? If not, the designers need to work harder to improve the postive attractions of the bridge, rather than relying entirely on the negative barrier of the fence. A fence, if used at all, should be a supplement to good design, rather than the only incentive for pedestrians to use a poorly designed bridge in a poorly designed environment.
