Staff Reporter :

The Fair Urban Charter 2024 Forum, a landmark event focused on imagining just and inclusive urban futures for Bangladesh, will take place on November 19 and 20 at the Press Institute of Bangladesh in Dhaka.

This two-day forum invites citizens, activists, professionals, and everyone passionate about urban transformation to contribute to a collective vision of fairer, more caring, and sustainable Bangladeshi cities and towns.

River and Delta Research Centre (RDRC) and Just Urban jointly are organizing the event that would gather some 300 participants – 150 from Dhaka and 150 others from outside Dhaka-from different parts of the country.

The Fair Urban Charter 2024 aims to address these disparities, asserting that all citizens deserve a fair, democratic, and inclusive urban environment, said a press release.

The forum will gather diverse voices from all walks of urban life to discuss the structural reforms needed in the constitution, urban policies, and civic institutions to guarantee the right to the city for all residents of urbanizing Bangladesh.

Through open dialogues and collective visioning, participants will help shape the Fair Urban Charter 2024-a roadmap of aspirations that will be submitted to the Constitutional Reform Committee, representing a powerful collective voice calling for urban justice and equity.
