Reminiscing the Roots- A Water Sensitive Urban Design on Karnaphuli West Bank, Chattogram.

Chattogram was once a vibrant hub of history, heritage, culture, trade, and nature. The ancient canal routes and their majestic interconnecting network still hold the oldest relation between water and the people. Over the recent years, the city has faced massive degradation due to unplanned development. This thesis highlights introducing sustainable and innovative ideas where a forgotten riverfront has a high potential to serve as a robust public space for not just the neighborhood, but also the city. Introducing a water-sensitive urban design as a nature-based solution can create a scope to revive the blue infrastructure of the city and reconnect it to the people.
