Dhaka Dreams—
Co-creating New Public
Spaces for All
Shahjahanpur Jheel is a green oasis located in a dense, residential,
middle to low-income neighborhood of Dhaka just
to the northwest of the Central Railway Station. Together
with the community, superwien co-created an urban vision
of the jheel to develop a new green centrality in Dhaka. The
plan, for the area of around 3.5 hectares, incorporates most
of the ideas and wishes formulated by the community and
seeks to reconcile conflicting interests wherever possible.
The most important element that was mentioned by all
stakeholder groups was a continuous walkway around the
jheel. Other design elements that were widely called for
include: more greenery, public toilets, a children’s playground,
additional pedestrian bridges across the jheel, and
seating facilities.

(Not) Arriving in Dhaka
One of the most densely populated cities in the world, Dhaka can be imagined as
a crowded, busy place defined by waterbodies. People travel by foot, bus, car or
one of the many colorful rickshaws that are the city’s favorite mode of transportation.
Vendors sell their goods at every corner: fruits and vegetables, fish and
eggs, tin cans or fabrics of every imaginable pattern. The smell of their goods
mixes with the noise of the hustle in the streets, enriching the manifold images
with yet another layer of sensory stimulation.
Sadly, we could only imagine all of this. Owing to travel restrictions during
the pandemic in 2021 and early 2022, our international team was not able to visit
this magical place. A city that has been shaped by migration and galloping population
growth did not receive us as a temporary addition to its crowd of inhabitants.
Luckily enough, we had a brilliant local team in place that would represent
superwien on the ground and meet every challenge along the way.
We knew that we needed the best team for this task. They should be our
ears and eyes in Dhaka, there should be a seamless understanding between the
local and international team. Our friend Ivan Kucina, architecture professor at
Dessau Institute of Architecture in Germany, recommended speaking to one of
his former students, Sadia Mounata, a Bangladesh-based architect and lecturer
at Daffodil International University in Dhaka. She was on a study leave in Germany
at that time. She introduced us to our future project manager: Ar. Sheikh Md.
Rezwan. Together with him, we founded our interdisciplinary team, composed of
architects, urban designers, social anthropologists, and a geographer: Amran
Hasan, Azka Eshita, Bandhan Dhar, Humayun Kabir, and Javed Kaiser. All fulfilled
the requirements for conducting a truly integrated participatory urban design
process. Sadia joined the group, working from Germany. It could not have been
more thrilling having such a team, comprised of experts with many years of experience
both in the academic and practical field, as well as young, enthusiastic
professionals who would bring in fresh ideas and could relate to the exceptionally
young population of the city. An academic partnership was established with the
Department of Architecture at the Daffodil International University, the most
reliable partner.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures and thus the very
first meeting with the team was conducted from everyone’s home. However, the
team quickly bonded over the common situation, discussing the Covid-19 crisis
and its urban implications. There was a shared understanding of the importance
of public space and walkability in the city, not only to face pandemic-related
problems but, also, many challenges that cities are generally confronted with
265
Dhaka Dreams

today. It was agreed that a city should be built to meet human needs and foster
sustainable development. The first professional dialog thus set solid ground for
the fruitful collaboration that would develop in the following months.
A Special Place of Hope: Shahjahanpur Jheel
Jheel is the Bengali word for lake and refers to the many ponds, interrupted river
tributaries, and surfacing parts of channels that characterize the urban fabric of
Dhaka. Over time, the waterbodies of the city have dwindled through underground
channeling or simple land filling. Today, Dhaka is crisscrossed by underground
and above-ground waterbodies, as well as dam systems to stem recurring
floods. The remaining jheels constitute valuable open spaces in the cityscape and
have a high potential to develop into attractive recreational areas—as demonstrated
by the well-known cases of Hatir Jheel and Dhanmondi Lake.
The World Bank is currently working with the Government of Bangladesh
on the Dhaka Metropolitan Transformation Platform, a long-term, multi-sector
program that aims to transform Dhaka into a more livable and competitive city.
In this context, the Dhaka City Neighborhood Upgrading Project serves as a starting
point with a focus on public spaces in the administrative area of the Dhaka
South City Corporation (DSCC). In a thorough pre-study for the project, urban
design guidelines were developed, and several regeneration sub-projects were
proposed. Out of these, the World Bank—in consultation with DSCC and superwien—selected
the Shahjahanpur Jheel area as our planning site.
Shahjahanpur Jheel is a green oasis located in a dense, residential, middle
to low-income neighborhood of Dhaka just to the northwest of Dhaka’s Central
Railway Station. The area is delimited by the railway tracks and a six-lane road
to the north and east, respectively. A massive flyover cuts off the southeastern
edge of the neighborhood. The physical separation of the place endows it with an
introverted character and a special neighborhood feeling. The three to seven-story
buildings around the jheel are mostly mixed-use buildings with commercial
functions on the ground floors (shops, departmental stores, private doctors’ practices,
salons, laundries, etc.) and apartments on the upper floors.
The neighborhood is extremely compact, one of the densest areas in Dhaka
in terms of population. We observed that seven-story buildings have hardly any
air between them, and wondered how such buildings can actually be constructed.
Today, around 90,000 people live on a single square kilometer; in comparison,
Vienna’s densest area, the 15th district, houses around 15,000 people per square
kilometer.

The Role of the Environment in Architecture and
Urban Design
We interviewed Nahas Khalil, a renowned architect in Dhaka
who headed the jury of the Shahjahanpur Jheel Development
student competition, about the role of nature in this project.
Dhaka is a special place; it is crowded and has a humid environment. For you,
what is the role of nature in our work as architects?
Nahas: Priority for green open spaces must be placed on a par with housing,
if not above it. Dhaka is densely packed over a huge area, and is progressively
expanding at its seams, which results in one township running into the other
at the cost of beautiful outskirts—a lush landscape that, fortunately, the country
is part of. Also, the city needs more regularly spaced open spaces to avoid the
heat island effect. Green open spaces must have waterbodies, not only as a pleasant,
comfortable and eco-friendly feature, but also to act as retention ponds to
mitigate the effects of flooding, temporary inundation, and water logging. Bangladesh
is a delta that receives heavy precipitation most of the year. The rainwater
from the Himalayas flows through this delta into the ocean. Since traffic is a
major deterrent for movement of its citizens, the quality of life of the average
citizen of Dhaka can be hugely improved by ensuring access to open spaces at
the neighborhood level. Whatever we already have must be made full use of. Also,
we must ensure that the quality of these spaces evolves out of the priority of
needs of the neighborhood — and not pre-conceived borrowed images. Children,
women, and teenage girls must be given priority owing to the complete lack of
safe facilities available to these groups.
286 Dhaka Dreams

When you see pictures of the polluted jheel, what comes to your mind? What
is your vision for such a place?
Nahas: Very often, for such newly emerging hugely populous cities, city
leaders are occupied with the efforts of desperately grappling with the rapid and
ever-growing problems of just making the city work. Troubleshooting comes before
planning priorities. Very little time is used for urban planning that fits the
needs of the people and that determines the shape and quality of public spaces.
Quick, unthinking, and copy-pasting of ideas and images from more “developed”
cities are the only options left for those visualizing the transformation of how
spaces should be. While choosing a path to reach the right mix of what public
spaces will logically constitute a Bangladeshi urban space may take years of sincere,
well-meant trial and error, I feel that it is not very difficult to “see” the path
that should not be taken or be avoided. It is not difficult if the decision maker puts
in a sincere effort to discard any preconceived images that have, subconsciously,
crept in very easily in the minds of individuals, even of thinking designers, in the
globalized world we live in.
Students from five universities worked on the site. How do younger generations
deal with this kind of project?
Nahas: There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm among the designers,
particularly the young, to use this new wealth to make quality of life better.
We have seen the tip of that iceberg in the work of uninitiated students. It is very
important to open up this dialogue, in as open-ended a manner as feasible, particularly
with very young professionals. The seeds of thoughts sown into these
young minds of today will mature and grow to provide the next generation with a
more focused direction. In time, if we are fortunate to have a run of such an unbroken
cumulative thought process, encompassing a few generations, we should
be able to look back and say: “Ah! This is a Bangladeshi City!” It will be complete
with a quality of life that its people are well-contended with. ◐

Training sessions
The training sessions on the second and third days of the Urban Design Lab targeted
representatives of DSCC, the DSM team, and academic staff of the participating
universities. Some 25 to 30 people participated actively in each two-hour
session. The aim of the training sessions was to transfer hands-on knowledge
about urban design participatory tools and actively apply some of these tools to
the Shahjahanpur Jheel case.
During the first session, we gave a short introduction to participatory urban
design and to twenty-four participatory tools for the four stages of the design
process: local assessment, visioning & definition of objectives, action planning &
design, and validation & feedback. After that, three of the tools were applied and
tested by workshop participants: Cartography of Social Perception, Stakeholder
Mapping, and Goals Grid Analysis. The training session concluded with a joint
discussion on the use of the tested tools. During the second training session, the
tested tools included Case Studies Discussion, Integral Scenarios, and Role Play.
The general feedback on the use of the tools was very positive. At the same time,
the consultant’s team collected new ideas and expert opinions about the development
of Shahjahanpur Jheel through the activities.

Student competition
The third component of the Urban Design Lab was a student competition for the
design of public space around Shahjahanpur Jheel. The students were provided
with the following documents: a competition brief; results of the participatory
process and spatial analysis of Phase 1 of the Participatory Urban Design Consultancy;
a photo and video documentation of the site; and digital plans and 3D
models of the surroundings of the jheel. Registration for the competition was
open to students from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology,
University of Asia Pacific, American International University, Daffodil International
University, and North South University. In total, 92 students registered for
the Urban Design Lab and student competition. After four days of work, 24 teams
submitted their designs to the jury.
The jury was headed by Nahas Ahmed Khalil, the renowned Bangladeshi
architect, and an international expert panel, including: the Project Director of
DCNUP, Sirajul Islam; World Bank urban development specialist Ishita Alam Abonee;
architect and advisor to the World Bank Markus Tomaselli (from the Technical
University of Vienna); and superwien. The jury reviewed the submissions
and selected one winner, two runners-up, and an honorable mention. The winning

“Rewind>>Forward”: the winning project of the student competition in the Dhaka Urban
Lab, by Ahmad Abdul Wasi, Amit Krishna Sarker and Mohammad Mashuk Ul Alam.

project—entitled “Rewind>>Forward”—was designed by Ahmad Abdul Wasi, Amit
Krishna Sarker, and Mohammad Mashuk Ul Alam, all architecture students at the
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. The design entry describes
the project as follows: “Our design explores the idea of retaining the identity
of the Shahjahanpur Jheel area through the regeneration and the preservation
of the ecological footprint of the jheel and ensure its maintenance and
longevity through people’s participation. The regeneration is not only limited to
the beautification of the edge but also aims to turn more people towards the jheel,
focusing on the socio-economic and infrastructural upgrading of the area while
keeping their needs in mind.”
The main idea of the winning team was to create a green jheel district with
quality public spaces that are accessible to all, and with a clear priority for pedestrians.
This project thus told it all; the way to move forward was already there
and fully reflected the urban strategy that we had developed earlier. We were
surprised about the quality of the work submitted, and by the fact that they managed
to work together virtually, and achieve a very nice design after only four days.
We announced the winners on the last day of the Urban Design Lab. They received
a copy of our Urban Design Lab Handbook (published in 2019), and we invited
them and the runners-up to join our team for the next few months, so they continued
to work with us in paid internships. All competition entries were of great
quality, and brought inspiration and new ideas to the project. ◐

Co-creative Design
Toolbox
Thanks to the experience of working with diverse communities
and actors that interact with various levels of governance—
gained in Dhaka, Maputo, and Santo Domingo—we were able
to establish a comprehensive co-creation toolbox. We realized
that today many governments, private and public sector
organizations, institutions, individual architects, non-profit
organizations, and other urban actors are willing to promote
their cities in a more attentive way and identify the needs
of local communities. However, they often do not know how
to do it. The How? issue leaves a huge gap between their desire
and its fulfilment, and drives them to use the same old tools—
designed from a top-down technocratic perspective.

With this toolbox, we wish to present the lessons learned and the tools we have
used over the years in an easy-to-read manual. This knowledge was produced
along a journey that involved working together with professionals and municipalities
around the world—starting in Latin America with our Urban Design Labs and
moving on to other places on other continents. The aims of the Urban Design Lab
have remained the same, namely, to facilitate and encourage the progress of the
participatory urban design process. We hope it will be useful to all architects and
urban planners, decision makers, technical staff of public authorities, and professionals
committed to building more equitable and sustainable cities. The toolbox
offers a methodological package and a pragmatic approach to participatory design
and planning.
This “box set” is a source of ideas as well as tools, which are not meant to
be reproduced to the letter, but are designed in such a way that practitioners can
play with them, experiment, and adjust them to local needs, as well as create new
ones, alter old ones, and combine them with each other. In this way, tools that
were developed as strategies to be used at the analysis stage can also be used
fruitfully at other stages of the planning process. Sometimes, it is just a matter of
modifying the questions to obtain other answers.
The tips and suggestions that you will find in this toolbox range from tool
descriptions, past experiences, suggestions on the number of participants, and
possible adaptations, from materials to consider and more. This valuable information
will help you develop meaningful workshop sessions for specific community
groups.
Introduction to Participatory Urban Design
Let us start from the beginning. What does participatory urban design mean?
Participatory urban design is understood as a tool to activate people into a planning
process, inform them, and involve them in the creation of ideas. It is all about
motivating communities during the design of urban public spaces, streetscapes,
and neighborhoods. An inclusive planning process is much more than planning
responding to people’s needs, for it enables the population to take a central role
during the development of a project. The integration of locals into all the relevant
phases of the design process is key if we are to achieve many positive outcomes
and amplify the social and cultural benefits of a specific project. But why is this?
There are many reasons why, nowadays, it is commonly accepted that urban
regeneration projects should include participatory bodies. For example, if funding
is available to improve the architectural and landscape features of a park, the planner
might propose a park based on his or her own criteria and expertise or, instead,
551 Co-creative Design Toolbox

choose to launch a community process to understand the uses and needs of the
various groups that give meaning to the park. Indeed, local people are the beneficiaries
and users of projects located in public space. By creating room for participation,
the process will encompass the manifold expectations that people may
have about a space. At the same time, it will open up avenues for reflection among
various groups about their roles as active agents of their public spaces. Thus, it
can promote citizen empowerment, bolster community links and networks, and
strengthen the bond that local people have established with their own cities.
The participation of locals raises the community’s awareness of the importance
and benefits of space regeneration as well as of other social and economic
aspects. It also facilitates the identification and participation of a variety
of community groups, including those who are often not visible in standard planning
processes. Approaching a wide range of people brings meaningful results for
local groups. In addition, the participatory urban design process promotes a
sense of ownership and belonging within local communities, resulting in the longterm
success of the intervention.
Bearing the importance of participatory planning processes in mind, a
number of tools have been successfully developed and used, promoting creative
ways to include the local community and identify their perceptions, needs, and
ideas during the various project phases. These tools make it easier for the planning
team to approach the community and allow the development of meaningful
workshop sessions, with activities directed toward diverse stakeholder groups.
By discovering and taking into consideration the knowledge and perceptions
of the future users themselves, one can identify their real needs and wishes,
as well as encourage them to actively participate in the development of a new
space. This can increase satisfaction and, thus, the quality of life in the area, and
it also provides an opportunity to detect local allies who are willing to contribute—an
important resource from which planners can draw and learn.
