Consolidation :
New land delivery and development mechanism coupled with flood land with secure tenure in accessible locations is encouraged.

Accelerated Development:
Under this strategy the targeted areas would be existing fringe areas, i.e., areas mainly at the periphery of the more established areas where conversion from rural land occurred during the 1980s.

Planned New Area Development:
Structure Plan (SP) recognizes that the new area development on a scale and at a rate which will ease pressures on the existing urban areas requires the adoption of fundamental policy changes and the adoption of new approaches, techniques and mechanisms in public and private sector initiative.

Long Term Planned New Area Development Opportunities:
With the most growth having been focused on Dhaka's main urbanized areas and directed towards new priority areas within the areas protected by FAP 8A and 8B.

Rural and Special Areas Policies:
The policies on treatment are essentially one of conservation whereby the function performed by the area requires a degree of protection from urban impacts via policies and some basic rules and regulations.

Flood Flow Zones:
Three areas of high quality agricultural land within the catchment area of Dhaka will be conserved and promoted as areas of high intensity food production.
River Pollution Control:
Environmental protection measures will be taken to prevent pollution of the Lakhya river and its tributary, the Balu river, in order to ensure that it remains a viable, long-term source of potable water for Dhaka city. No noxious industry should be allowed on banks of the rivers.

Infrastructure Consolidation:
At the level of the Urban Area Plan and particularly in the course of Local Plan preparation, the authority will ensure that infrastructure consolidation programs.

Fringe Area Growth Acceleration:
To initiate and co-ordinate a range of measures aimed at stimulating. Accelerating the rate of development in the designated areas of the urban fringe.

Flood Protection Works:
To support and coordinate the multi-agency works necessary for an early completion of the flood protection measures under the FAP-proposals.

Infrastructure Initiatives:
To promote through the plan an orderly sequence of new area development by means of mutually reinforcing public sector investment programs, spear headed by drainage, flood protection and transport development.

Community Based Development Initiatives:
It recognizes the increasing importance of community-led initiatives and participation in the land development process and commits itself to the application of community-based land delivery mechanisms which give priority to meet the needs of the poor.

Priority Satellite Town/Dhamsona:
To promote Dhamsona in the Northwest of the plan area as the priority location for dispersed satellite town development.

Long-term Satellite Town:
It defers any decision to proceed with government-initiated development at the remaining satellite town like Gazipur, Savar, Kaliganj and Purbachal (Yusufganj).

Special Incentive Zone (Economic Base):
To designate special targeted locations within RAJUK?s control areas. The locations identified in the plan which are Tongi, Dhamsona, Savar and Narayangonj. The important reason has to be considered to stimulate a sound economic base in support of population dispersal.
