“…This pattern can be labelled similar to what Rogerson and Nel (2016) argued as deprived zones of city region or disparity between the city centre and newly developed sub-centres (Li and Wei 2014). These deprived areas could not participate in the growth process due to a lack of better transport connectivity to the core city (Hossain and Huggins 2021;Nazem and Hossain 2019). In the other areas of the GDR, the services infrastructures are very poor, however, in the district headquarter areas the infrastructure are comparatively better.…”

“…The metropolitan area of this region has been extending towards its periphery and each year more than 400 thousand people are adding up to the city (IGS 2012). Due to the growth process, it has been expected that these people will live in the periphery areas (Hossain and Huggins 2021;Nazem and Hossain 2019). Thus, the demand and supply gap will be enhanced in future in the absence of immediate and appropriate initiatives.…”

This paper illustrates the spatial distribution pattern of the basic services infrastructures in the Greater Dhaka Region (GDR), Bangladesh that favour a quality life to live. The study employed the modified Human Development Index (here we termed as Service Infrastructure Index) to assess the spatial inequalities of service infrastructures at the sub-district level. Total 13 indicators from three major dimensions, such as housing and related services, education and health were used to estimate the service infrastructure index. Spatial autocorrelation based on the Global Moran's I was used to assess the statistical significance of the observed distribution pattern and Local Moran's I (cluster and outlier analysis) was employed to map the locations of infrastructure concentrations. The study found that the basic service infrastructures are unevenly distributed across the sub-districts. The index score ranges from 0.12 in Daulatpur of Manikganj district to 0.80 in Dhaka Metropolitan Area (DMA) while the regional mean is 0.29. The core city (DMA) and the areas near the core city (especially the Gazipur district) with a higher level of urbanisation and inter-regional connectivity enjoy better services. This study identified where the infrastructures are clustered and which type of infrastructure lack in different areas. Thus, it is expected that demand-based infrastructure development should get priority in the development agenda of the region.

“…Generally, urbanization experiences and reviewing ideas of scholars introduce necessary indicators. Adequate natural resources, vibrant social life, progressive urban economy, qualified homes, urban services, accessible transport infrastructure networks and qualified built and natural environments are indicators of quality of life (Nazem and Hossain, 2019). In common with us, the scholars also suggested that housing policies shall include urban life quality.…”

Purpose This paper aims to suggest a practical model for the production of new homes according to demands. After understanding the inhabitants’ priorities and preferences, the authors will present a programming model for building projects. The authors will meet the goal with knowledge-based development ideas and the experiences of skilled engineers and scholars. Design/methodology/approach The research methods are theoretical studies, a case study strategy, a market analysis, linear planning and classic procedures. All the research methods are problem-oriented. The authors have studied theories related to housing policies and performed field studies with a case study. The case study considers the preferences of applicants and programs building productions according to the ideas and needs. Findings The outcome of this research is a home-building program. The program stands on the particular requirements of responded people and regional characteristics. The authors can simulate this model anywhere in the world where there is a housing crisis. Originality/value This paper is originally based on my studies and practices.
