In densely populated settings like Chittagong, Bangladesh cities facing rapid urbanization and economic growth are challenged to provide open space for its citizens. For example, the population of this port city is 14,200 people per square kilometer and there is a struggle to provide open space. Again, the planning proposal did not set any open space standard to achieve its open space aspirations Hence, the objectives of this paper are four-fold: (i) Develop an understanding of open space standards to establish relative benchmarks for potential use in Chittagong. (ii) Examine existing formal open space in Chittagong. (iii) Document the existing informal open space areas in Chittagong according to the planning direction. (iv) Recommend an approach that can be used to realize open spaces in Chittagong. To achieve these, this paper documents the existing open space scenario in the city, examines the recommended open space standards developed by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Dhaka Structural Plan (2016–2035) (the planning document of the capital city of Bangladesh) to identify to what extent these ‘benchmark’ standards are appropriate for use in the city. A discussion on open space in Chittagong and the criteria used to ‘frame’ open space calculations in the city is then conducted to provide a foundation to reflect upon the world’s various open space recommendations. Ultimately, by analyzing existing open space recommendations and their associated well-being aspirations, the research suggests that a new standard relating to the unique characteristics of the city should be used when developing open space standards in Chittagong.

“…In his ''Park Areas and Open Spaces in American and European Cities'' [28], Elgin R. L. Gould amassed quantitative facts about the amount of developed land in the United States. At the time, Gould worked for the United States Department of Labor, but he would later become a lecturer at the Johns Hopkins University and at Columbia College.…”

The JASA was started in 1922, arising out of the old New Series publications of the American Statistical Association. Initially not concerned with statistical methodology per se, there is now a Theory & Methods section to complement the Applications & Case Studies section, along with review articles and book reviews. In substance, the JASA is dominated by theoretical mathematically‐based statistical methodology, although its authors continue to be motivated by real world problems. Articles are for the most part unsolicited, and the Journal appears quarterly.
