Dhaka, one of the world’s fastest-growing megacities, plays a key role in advancing the Urban Nature Program as a lighthouse city. Facing high population density, limited green space, and increasing climate risks such as flooding and heat stress, Dhaka is working to integrate nature-based solutions into its urban development strategy. Through efforts focused on restoring urban waterways, expanding green infrastructure, and improving public spaces, the city is demonstrating how nature can enhance resilience, improve livability, and support more inclusive urban growth. As a lighthouse city, Dhaka contributes to peer learning and knowledge exchange, helping to showcase scalable approaches for embedding nature into dense and rapidly urbanizing environments.
