The manifesto for Korail created by the group identified the need for a circular economy to support the strong social fabric that exists within the settlement. We want to challenge the mindset of local authorities and initiate a proposal for the people within the most resilient housing community in Bangladesh.

The circular ecosystem implemented in my project will focus on re-shaping the residents connections with Banani Lake through cleaning the water so it be used in the future by vernacular farming techniques.
