Chapter 1: Introduction

Adamjee Jute Mills, established at Narayanganj near Dhaka in 1950, was the largest jute mill of the world. Narayanganj was renowned throughout the world for jute production and jute marketing. There is a historical background to grow up jute mills at that region. It has been said that there was a perfect competition in jute business between Narayanganj and Sirajganj. This District was a sub-divisional town of Dhaka, upgraded to a district headquarters in February 1984. The district is bounded by Gazipur and Narsingdi districts on the north, Brahmanbaria and Comilla districts on the east, Munshiganj district on the south, and Dhaka district on the west. Geologically, the area lies on the edge of the Madhupur Tract. The total area of the district is 759.57 sq km., of which 48.56 sq km. is riverine and 0.60 sq km. is under forest. The district lies between 2333and 2357north latitude and between 9026 and 9045 east longitude(5). 1.1 History of Adamjee Jute Mills: Adamjee Jute Mills was set up by Abdul Wahid Adamjee, Pakistan's foremost industrialist. At the time of partition of Bengal in 1947, there were 108 jute mills in Bengal; but all of them fell to the share of India. The government of Pakistan encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs to come forward with proposals for establishment of jute mills in the country, following which Adamjee Brothers of Calcutta agreed to act as a promoter and presented an investment plan in December 1949. In line with its proposal, Adamjee Brothers contributed 50% of the share capital while the Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) sanctioned the rest of the capital. The proposed site with an area of 227 acres was in Siddhirganj, which had good river, road and rail communication facilities. PIDC arranged for import of machinery and equipment for the mill with government grants of foreign exchange and by June 1955, the mill was ready for commissioning and had 3000 looms and 31200 spindles. The production capacity of the mill was 117 ton of twist and yarn, 953 ton of hessian and 4006 ton of sacking bag. In Adamjee jute mills there were five trade unions, 11 unregistered trade unions as well as three trade unions for workers. They were seldom organized under the shade of the ruling political party. During the start of 1970s, the polypropylene products start to substitute traditional jute products and the fall of Adamjee Jute Mills start. The mill became an abandoned property in 1971 and its ownership and management were vested on Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation in 1972. After nationalization in 1972, the Adamjee Jute Mills started suffering from problems like overstaffing, lack of work discipline of employees, absenteeism and unionism.

The new management failed to ensure product quality and the output of the mill could no more meet the specifications of overseas buyers. The situation gradually got worse and the mill started incurring losses, a trend which could never be reversed. Because of continuous losses incurred by the mill every year, the government closed it on 30 June 2002(4).

1.2 Background of the study: Industrial development of Bangladesh, during the post-independence period, both in terms of its growth rate as well as the structural changes has been rather modest. This is not to say that there had been any shortage of industrial policies; Industrial Policy of 1973, the New Industrial Policy of 1982 (NIP-1982), the Revised Industrial Policy of 1986 (RIP-1986), followed by a number of other policies, with the latest being the Industrial Policy of 1999, have all attempted to revamp the sector with a view to create a strong manufacturing base in the economy. In spite of these efforts, between 1973/74 and 1999/00 manufacturing GDP has increased at a modest annual compound rate of only 3.8 per cent. As a result, the sector's contribution to GDP has been delimited to about 11 per cent during the entire period (15 per cent according to revised estimates under the new system of national accounting). To be fair, the 1990s saw some upturn in the sector's performance: according to new estimates, the annual compound rate of manufacturing growth between 1988/89 and 1994/95 was estimated to be nearly 8.2 per cent, with some decline in the second-half of the 1990s when the growth rate came down to 5.5 per cent. However, the growth rate and the attendant intra-industry structural changes were not robust enough in a way that could make the industrial sector play the role of an engine of growth to service the needs of an economy geared towards a takeoff. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) data shows the share of the service sector to the GDP increased by 0.20 percentage points and the industry sector by 0.07 percentage points in FY2009 over those of FY2008. The Contribution ratio on GDP*: Sector Agriculture Industry Services Contribution (%) 18.7% 28.7% 52.6% (2009 est.)

As the pioneer industry (Adamjee Jute Mills) no longer exists, a huge area is abandoned in the district of industrial core; the redevelopment of Adamjee area to a suitable land use is
Page | 2 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

exploring vision options which will embrace a wide variety of employment opportunities and new site-specific development standards. By focusing on Development Visioning' rather than a strict reason process, the planning proposal opens the possibilities to achieve the job growth and revenues that are consistent and compatible with local and regional industrial development goals. Industrial zoning allows for a broad range of development not normally associated with classical industrial park concept (same type of industry). This flexibility acknowledges the public's input and desire to guide future development to harmoniously blend with the adjacent natural environment. 1.3 Objectives of the study: To Study the existing & surrounding land use pattern of the Adamjee Jute Mill area. To formulate land use policies and Planning for redevelopment of Adamjee area. 1.4 Methodology: To design a site Adamjee Jute Mills area had been assigned under course no plan 312, Urban Planning Studio. The total area of 327 acres had been selected for conducting the study. A GIS map was provided by the respective course teachers, in order to have an overview of the study area. A Reconnaissance survey had been carried out with the help of reference materials. The design process had been carried out to design a mixed industrial park with the context of industrial location theories. And after the design completion the final report and presentation had been prepared. 1.5 Scope and limitation of the Study: The study area is close to Dhaka; have a good transportation network through road and river. The site is large enough to design which is one of the important scopes of the study. The given GIS map is not updated with the prevailing condition of the site. Due to time constrain questionnaire survey was not possible.

Chapter 2: Theoretical Framework

The views of industrialists i.e. industrial location theories carry a great significance in deciding the location of an industry. Suitability analysis of an area which is likely to be developed as an industrial area can be comprehensively done by beholding these theories. 2.1 Industrial Location theories: Industrial location study is an inseparable part of economic geography. Many researches are being done by planners, economists, geographers and social scientists to enrich this subject. Three types of theories on location of industry have been categorized so far. These are as follows: i. ii. iii. Classical theories Neo classical theories Behavioral theories

The classical theories are based on the concept of distance minimization. Adam smith, Ricardo, Von Thunen, and J.S. Mill are the predecessors of classical theories. Apparently, the very first attempt to provide a theory explaining the location of an economic activity came from an agriculturist; Johann Henrich Von Thunen. His theory is focused on concentric zones of different uses of land to form about an urban center. According to this theory more distant belts would produce those products more which are low in weight and volume, but gains higher prices in the market as they could afford to bear relatively higher transportation costs. The classical theories can be divided into three categories- (i) The least cost approach (ii)

Market area analysis (iii) The profit maximization approach. Alfred Weber proposed a model of industrial location which assumes that industrialists choose a least-cost location for the development of a new industry. Three factors were considered as determinants for industrial location- (i) Transport cost (ii) Labor cost (iii) Agglomerative or degglomerative factors(6). Losch (1940) established the market area analysis theory giving more emphasis upon the market demand side. He insisted that optimum location is the place of maximum profit. The profit maximizing approach is the rational combination of the other two. It attempts to locate industries in a place where maximum profit can be achieved. After the era of classical theoreticians those who have contributed in the development of industrial location theories are Tornquest (1962), Wood and Taylor (1969). They have been classified as neo-classical theoreticians.
Page | 4 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

The third category of industrial location theories prominently called as Behavioral Location Theories. Those who worked in the development of these theories are Pred (1967), Smith (1977), Dicken (1971) and keeble (1976). They emphasized to the business decision making which is ignored by most of the classical theories. This is the reason why greater reliability is being exerted to this theory. Locational interdependence, evaluation of differing cost in differing locations, impact of large modern corporations, social costs or benefits and behavioral factors have affected the development of more empirically based analysis. John Glasson (1974) suggested some major location factors- (i) Labor-quality and quantity (ii) Transport and Communication (iii) Sites and premises (iv) Government aid (v) environmental factors in the wider sense. 2.2 Suitability Analysis of the Study area in the context of Theoretical background: The Study area is designed in the context of industrial location theories. Some of the features of suitability analysis of the study area are discussed below Profit maximization is an important factor for the location of industry. The area has a

good transportation system, cheap labor and good utility service which may yield maximum profit. Historically the area is being used as an industrial area. So high number of cheap

labor is available. Provision of water transport will allow the industries to transport raw materials and

finished products at low transport cost. Social benefit of the mass people is an important factor. The closure of the Adamjee

Jute Mills left a huge number of people unemployed. By the implementation of this plan authority will be able to provide employment to high number of people. Closure of Adamjee left huge land unused or underused. There is a great scope of

providing housing for the workers inside the area so as to reduce labor cost. 2.3 Factors Influencing Industrial Location and Growth: Location and growth of an industry is influenced by many factors. Some of them are physical in nature and some of them are socio-economic in nature. Whatever their nature is, these factors impose a great significance to the industrial development of a country. A brief description of the factors influencing industrial location is given below: 2.3.1 Accessibility to Market: Accessibility to market is imperative to an industry in the sense that longer distance to market may result in higher transport cost. Geographic location
Page | 5 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

and absence of infrastructure facilities may create hindrance in accessibility to market. 2.3.2 Availability of Raw Materials: Availability of raw materials, proximity to supplies, nearness to component parts, availability of storage facilities for raw materials and components, location of suppliers, freight cost influence the location and growth of an industry. 2.3.3 Availability of Labor: Low cost labor, managerial labor, skilled labor, unskilled labor, wage rates, educational level of labor, dependability of labor, availability of male labor, availability of female labor, cost of living, worker stability etc are considered in locating industries. 2.3.4 Transport and Communication: Transportation of raw materials and finished products is taken as important locational determinant. Pipeline facilities, highway facilities, railroad facilities, airway facilities, trucking services, waterway transportation, shipping cost of raw material, cost of finished goods transportation, availability of postal services, warehousing and storage facilities, availability of wholesale outlets are important factors in locating an industry. 2.3.5 Availability of Utility Facilities: Provision of utility facilities is considered intensely in locating an industry. Water supply-cost and quality, disposable facilities of industrial waste, availability of fuels, cost of fuels, availability of electric power, cost of electric power, availability of gas, adequacy of sewage facilities highly influence the location and growth of an industry. 2.3.6 Industrial Site: Accessibility of land cost of industrial land, space for future expansion, closeness to other industries, community industrial development projects etc influence the location and growth of an industry. 2.3.7 Government Policy: Government policies for industrialization put forth strong impact in locating an industry. The Government may give incentives and administrative directives to locate industries in less or least developed areas whilst may impose restrictions in establishing certain industries in certain locations. 2.3.8 Environmental Factor: Environmental factors are important for the lighter industries like computers, electronics etc. Living conditions, percentage of rainfall, relative humidity, monthly average temperature, air pollution, landscape etc. are taken as environmental factor(7).

Chapter 3: Profile of the study area

This chapter comprises of the location and surrounding land use of the study area. It also contains analysis of the Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat of the site. 3.1 Location of the study area: Adamjee Jute Mill is Located at Siddhirganj, six kilometers north of Narayanganj and 15 km from Dhaka. At the north of the study area there is Siddhirganj power plant, in the south it has Bihari Camp, in the eastern side there is Shitalakshya River and in the west planned residential zone as well as Monowara jute mills. 3.2 Existing land use within 4 km of the study area: Though Narayanganj district is usually familiar for its industrial purpose but the surrounding land use of the study area is dominated by agricultural and residential zone. Agricultural zone covers the maximum land use around 24%, then Planned Residential Zone around 18% and Flood Flow Zone covers around 13%. Existing Land Use Pattern

3.3 SWOT Analysis: The study area is not far from the Dhaka city. It has a good water ways transport facility as adjacent to the Shitalakshya River. Land price is comparatively low and cheap labor is available. Roads are narrow, dead-end, and have Irregular shape. The site has Historical background and abundant land. Misuse of land, noise and pollution is a potential threat to the site.

Chapter 4: Planning Proposal and Policy

Industry is the backbone upon which the economy of any country prevails. The growth of economy, the internal development of a nation depends on the development of industrial sector. Adamjee Jute Mills had been the mainstay of manufacturing sector, but it lost its glory in course of time. Regeneration of the Adamjee Jute Mill area can stimulate the industrial growth of the area again. In land-scarce Bangladesh, where the industrial sector is thriving day by day a Mix Industrial Park has been proposed to set up in the study area. An Industrial Park is an area which is zoned and planned for the purpose of industrial development. These parks are usually located outside the main residential area of a city and generally provided with good transportation access, including road and rail. The study area is located outside the urban residential areas but not very far away from the city; have a good transportation network, cheaper land price than Dhaka and abundance of labor. By considering all these factors, a Mix Industrial Park has been proposed providing three different types of industries. The reasons behind selecting the proposed project were to establish an environment friendly industrial park, to provide infrastructural facilities like developed plots, housing for workers, internal roads, fire-fighting arrangement etc. to the entrepreneurs in the related industries and to create employment through industrialization. 4.1 Detail of the Proposed Design: The overall area was designed considering industrial zone and providing housing for the workers together with some necessary facilities regarding the industrialization and housing provision. Three types of industries have been proposed for the Mix Industrial Park. These are Textile industry, Cement industry and Ceramic industry. 4.1.1 Textile Industry: Textile industries in Bangladesh stand firmly in the global business cycle and operate in a demand-driven market due to the spectacular growth of the export-oriented apparel industry. A huge 78 percent of the countrys export earnings come from textiles and apparel, according to the latest figures available. Due to its epoch-making role in the economy of Bangladesh this industry has been selected to be included in the proposed industrial park.
Page | 8 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

4.1.2 Ceramic Industry: The ceramic industry is basically a development of indigenous pottery works. Though Bangladesh's entry in ceramic export market is not that old but it has already earned a good name for its quality products with elegant getup and design. The study area has good transport facility; this industry was chosen to utilize this advantage. 4.1.3 Cement Industry: Cement sector is one of the emerging sectors of the country. Generally, a huge area is needed in order to set up a cement industry. Availability of huge unused or underused land and a good transport system including road and waterway induced to propose cement industry in the study area. Furthermore, the wastes of the ceramic can be used as alternative raw materials for Portland cement clinker production. 4.1.4 Housing and other facilities: In the proposed design, housing has been provided so that skilled workers those are not local can serve the industry properly. And also the workers who have to come from a distant place for their job can reside inside the park to save their time, cost and energy. Along with the housing other facilities like School, Medical Center, Mosque, Bazaar, Play field, Post office, Police Station, Bank has also been proposed in the design. Besides these an Administrative office, Museum, Auditorium, Training center, Parking space, Rest House, Officers club and Restaurant are also included. On the other hand Water Treatment Plant (WTP), Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), Solid Waste Management, Power Station, Fire Service, Container yard which are considered necessary factors to ensure an efficient and environment friendly industrial park have also been provided. One most important consideration of the design is open space and preservation of water body which has also been incorporated to get away from the unbending look of a typical industrial park. 4.2 Locational Compatibility: Two entrances are provided for the proposed design. One is at the western part and other at the southern end of the study area. Security check post is provided at each of these entrances. Textile Industry:

In the proposed design, Textile industry is located to the north of the study area. The water and air pollution from this industry could adversely affect the residents, for this reason it has
Page | 9 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

been proposed far away from the housing zone. And generally waterway is not used by textile industry to transport the raw materials, which was also considered in locating this industry. Ceramic Industry:

This industry has been proposed to the south-east of the study area beside the Shitalakshya River. This location was chosen to use the waterway transport system. Ceramic industry may produce huge pollution and heavy nuisance which may hamper the living environment of the residents, so a 50 feet buffer zone is proposed in between ceramic industry and workers housing. A container yard is also provided adjacent to this industry. Cement Industry:

Cement industry has been proposed to the north-east of the study area, so that the port can be used to transport raw materials of this industry. As this industry is linked with the ceramic industry, it was preferred to place these two industries close to each other, which was also considered as a reason for its location. This industry also has a container yard adjacent to it. Administrative Zone:

An Administrative zone has been proposed to the left of the west entrance. This zone includes an administrative office, a Bank, a Post office and a Police station. The zone is proposed close to the entrance so that the people engaged to this particular zone may pursue their activity without meandering into the area. Museum, Auditorium and Training Center:

These are provided to the right of the western entrance, so that people can pursue their affairs without creating crowding inside the industrial park. Specially, the location of the auditorium is very suited here as it can be rented to outsider. Rest House:

Rest house is provided at a location which is secluded from the industries. This location is preferred so that guests viz. foreign delegates, top officials can have an aesthetic view as there is a water body, park and open space adjoining it. This place is also away from the power station so it may possibly not be troubled by the nuisance. Officers Club and restaurant:

The Officers Club and restaurant has been provided adjacent to the guest house so that the guests can also get a hold to the superior facilities in a gratifying environment.
Page | 10 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

Water Treatment Plant (WTP):

Water treatment plant is proposed close to river so that it may treat the raw water of the river before using it for various purposes. Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP):

Of the three industries that have been proposed for the industrial park, the textile industry is very water intensive. An effluent treatment plant is proposed in between textile and ceramic industry so that it may treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Solid Waste Management:

It has been proposed close to the Effluent Treatment Plant for treating the solid wastes of the industries which can be used by both cement and textile industries. Power Station:

A central Power station for all the three industries has been provided in the south-eastern part of the study area. It may create heavy noise which will impose major disturbance to the residents; so it is proposed away from the housing and close to the river. Fire Service:

Fire service is provided in such a location where it can serve the whole area including housing and industrial zone. Housing:

Housing for the workers and the officers has been proposed to the south-west of the study area. Three types of housing is provided; one for the officers, one for the bachelor workers and one for the workers with family. The Shiddhirganj power station is located in the northern part, whilst a river and entrance of the study area is located in the eastern and western part respectively. Power station may disrupt the living environment of the occupants, riverside areas can be used to setup industries which largely rely on waterways transport and those industries possibly will create pollution and nuisance. Furthermore, planning principles suggest that residential area should be located outside the industrial zone. So southern part of the study area has been selected for housing. The workers housing has been provided by the side of the Ceramic industry, which has been separated by a 50 feet buffer zone. On the other hand, the officers housing is separated from the eastern industrial zone by workers housing and water body; and also from the northern industrial zone by a central park.

Page | 11 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

Primary and Secondary School:

As officers and 50% of the total workers are given the privilege of housing so schools are provided for the families of the employees. One Secondary and three Primary schools are proposed inside the housing zone. Play ground and play lot: Each Primary school has adjacent play ground. The officers housing and the workers housing also have several play lots as well as play grounds. Park:

A central park has been provided for the residents which will increase the essence of an environment friendly Industrial Park. Medical Center :

Medical center has been provided in such a location where it can be easily accessed by the residents. Mosque:

Mosque is proposed inside the housing zone and it is within the walking distance. Bazaar:

A bazaar is situated alongside the road so that it can be easily accessible for the residents. Parking:

Two parking spaces has been proposed in the design; one is adjacent to the officers housing and the other one is adjacent to the auditorium; each with a capacity of accommodating 150 cars (approx). Open Space:

Open space has also been given importance in the whole design. These spaces have been provided in a scattered way. One is beside the fire service and one is in between two industries. Besides these one buffer zone is also provided to separate the ceramic industry from the housing zone. Water Body:

The existing five water bodies of the study area have been preserved in the design as it was. Road Network:

The whole road network of the study area has been planned considering the movement of the lorry. Road Hierarchy has been maintained while planning for the road network. Three types of roads have been proposed in the study area. These are Major distributor of 80 ft, Minor
Page | 12 Conceptual Planning Proposal for the area of Adamjee Jute Mills

distributor of 60 ft for the industrial zone and 40 ft for housing zone and access road of 20 ft. Most of the roads have been designed following the linear pattern; in case of few roads the curvilinear pattern was followed to preserve the existing roads. A major thoroughfare is in the west side of the study area. Following this a Major distributor road will lead from the thoroughfare as the entrance, then the one minor distributor connects the individual industries and other minor distributor provides entrance roads for the housing zone. Then Access roads serve the individual houses. Besides these the pedestrian movement has been encouraged by providing walkways throughout the housing zone.

4.3 Proposed Industrial Policy: The Adamjee jute mill in the DMDP is a general industrial area (1). Due to decline of jute sector, industrial activities suffered greatly. Thats why the decision of refurbishment of assets of Adamjee Jute Mills for converting into world class industrial park has taken in DMDP plan, which the stakeholders also wish by upgrading the existing condition. Through our proposal of Mix Industrial Park, all of these could be turned into true; for which the following proposed policies are accountable. Existing internal and external road network, natural features and surrounding land use has been considered. Only the specified three types of industries are acceptable to be sited in the proposed industrial park. 50% of the total workers can be accommodated inside the park with the housing provision. Local and foreign investments are encouraged for the specified industries. Local workers will be prioritized. The plot size in each of the industrial zone will be the same. Womens participation in the industrialization must be ensured on a wider scale. Assistance to waste management development in order to ensure proper waste minimization and waste removal and produce pollution free goods must be provided. Each individual industry must have separate filters to reduce the air pollution.

Chapter 5: Land use Distribution

The proposal is to create a mix industrial park with three emerging industries. Along with industries housing provision and other facilities are provided to support the industries and housing. 5.1 Distribution of Residential Zone: The total residential zone was divided into three different types. Maximum ground coverage was between 65%-67.5%. Table 5.1: Land-use Distribution of Residential Zone Type of housing Bachelor housing Family housing (workers) Family housing (officers) Total No. of buildings 22 61 61 144 Area required (acres) 3.17 8.78 7.1 18.05 Area provided (acres) 9.7 24.4 15.7 49.8 Percentage 2.97 7.46 4.8 15.23

Chapter 6: Management and conclusion

6.1 Management: As the area has been designed for mix industrial park it is important that the area is properly managed otherwise one land use will hamper the other one. For proper management, the whole area will be under a Private Management Authority. Few regulations will need to be followed to avoid such conflict. Following measures may be taken in order to hold back these conflicts Co-ordination in activities of industries like construction, production, maintenance etc. Regular inspection of the spaces, premises, plants, machineries, ingredients and materials, production and all other processes. Production process which generates environmentally hazardous and non bio-degradable wastes may be prohibited. Environmental Impact Assessment for particular industries may be prepared. Safety measures and necessary directions to guard against any possible accidents that may cause environmental and economical degradation Any manufacturing unit employing equal to or more than certain number of workers must be registered to regulate the working conditions Proper management and frequent monitoring of effluent treatment plant and solid waste management plant is needed. Unplanned and illegal filling of water bodies and encroachment of water body is needed to be restricted 6.2 Conclusion: The fine jute and jute products that Bangladesh once produced have depressingly been step into the shoes of byproducts of suspect quality. In order to keep pace with the development need, regeneration of the decaying jute industries should get highest priority so as to boost up the industrial development of the area. Comprehensive regeneration policy well integrated with the development plan is crucial to harness the prospects of industrial development of the area. A mixed industrial park may play a big role in creating a large number of employments with a livable community within the area. The appearance of the Industrial park will be considerably influenced by the design and maintenance of the external areas of the site, particularly those areas between the buildings and the estate road. The design reflects a comprehensive land use ensuring a satisfactory standard.
