The project formulated an urban sector strategy summary for <strong>Dhaka and Chittagong, Bangladesh<\/strong>, emphasizing employment generation and poverty reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"font-size:12px\">The report was based largely on fieldwork in Dhaka and Chittagong, consisting primarily of interviews with residents of slums, evaluation of squatter settlements and informal areas, meetings and interviews with government officials, meetings with NGOs and micro-finance institutions, and visits to key projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"font-size:12px\">The report discussed in detail the urban land market in Bangladesh, defined the different types of land tenure held by urban dwellers, assessed the role of local and district authorities in land management, evaluated land-related impediments on housing and development finance, and highlighted issues related to access to land and services by the urban poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-subtle-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td>Project
