Guidelines for Climate-Resilient, Gender-Responsive, and Socially Inclusive Public Open Spaces in Bangladesh

These guidelines aim to equip local governments in Bangladesh with concepts and tools to create and maintain climate-resilient, gender-responsive, and socially inclusive public open spaces in cities and towns.

Using a process-oriented and visually driven approach, the guidelines will help local governments select, prioritize, prepare, assess, create, implement, and maintain quality public open spaces with the active participation of the community. They focus on creating well-designed spaces that serve multiple functions, addressing livelihoods, leisure, and climate adaptation, particularly in vulnerable regions of Bangladesh.
