Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) Mayor Md Rezaul Karim Chowdhury has said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has approved many mega projects for the development of Chittagong.  which are being properly implemented.  

In this case, Chittagong City Corpora­tion and Chittagong Develop­ment Authority are one of the service companies involved in the development of Chittagong.  These two organizations need to work together and continue their efforts to build Chittagong as an international standard city by implementing mega projects through mutual coordination headded. He was speaking as the chief guest at the closing ceremony of a two-day program on the occasion of the founding anniversary of the Chittagong Chapter of the Institute of Architecture at the auditorium of the Institute of Engineers on Saturday evening.

 He said Chittagong would stand in an important position in view of all the mega projects being implemented including deep sea port, Bay Terminal, Bangabandhu Tunnel, Mirsarai Econo­mic Zone, Power Station.  Therefore, the immense potential of Chittagong has been recognized internationally.  So Chittagong has become not just a region, but a hub of national and global development.  For this reason, in order to take Chittagong forward, we have to take into account the coordination of all service organizations including CDA and CCC.  This Chittagong city does not belong to any individual, not to the mayor or to the chairman of CDA, it belongs to every citizen. 

So we all have to fulfill our collective responsibilities and duties properly.  We have to identify the visible problems and take practical steps to solve them.  Considering the situation, it is necessary to work with the mentality of mutual cooperation by avoiding the issues of institutional conflict.

“There is a historical connection between our heritage and architecture,” said the mayor. CCC However, in the light of the technology and science mentality, modern thinking techniques are needed in the thinking of architects and engineers to create new connections with the present and the future.

Hopefully today's architects and engineers are working with that vision.  In the same way that we are proud of all the good deeds of the past, we must leave some examples and patterns for our work so that future generations can be proud. Chairman of the Chittagong Development Authority Zahirul Alam Dobhas said that the cooperation of every service organization including Chasik is needed for the development of Chittagong and implementation of all the projects which are the responsibility of the Chittagong Development Authority.  

We can't blame each other in any way.  

Therefore, if the projects can be implemented under an integrated management, the welfare and welfare of not only Chittagong but the whole country will be ensured.

 He called upon the new generation of architects to apply creative thinking in infrastructural installations for the economic development of the country.
