The Mega-city Dhaka, the seventh largest populous city in the world. According to an estimate around 35% of the Dhaka city population live in slums and squatters due to low-income migrant people from rural areas in search of job and urban amenities. To meet the demand the Bangladesh government already took decision to build a large number of housing projects for low-income and lower-middle income group people in Purbachal, Mirpur, and Jilimili including a number of slum rehabilitation projects. The government is decided to build some 1,320 low-cost flats for low-and middle-income groups in the capital under public-private partnership (PPP). The proposed apartments, equipped with all modern amenities, will be built by creating a satellite town on 5 acres of land of the National Housing Authority (NHA) at Mirpur. A feasibility study was also conducted to implement the project using a new technology Insulated Concrete form (ICF) instead of the existing civil construction technology to keep their construction cost relatively low. As per the project concept, the government will provide the lands as capital investment while the private sector will bear the construction costs. The project proposal was put forward to the PPP Office of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and also placed it to the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) for its approval. Now it is expected that the housing and Public Works Ministry will invite the tender soon.
