The existing Master Plan for Khulna City was prepared in 1961 and consists of 4 documents. First a strategic plan: a long term policy guideline (20 years), for long term urban development emphasising decentralisation of development activities with focus on participatory planning, evolving appropriate strategies, making realistic assumptions and a formulation of strategic options, based on certain assumptions and forecasts.
Planning vision: to remove long stagnation of the city by revitalizing its growth and to make it a poverty free, liveable and economically vibrant city.
The 1961 master plan was prepared in Macro framework. Most of the proposals were made in the form of outlines, instead of programmes and projects, and can be classified in four categories: land use, basic infrastructure, development and plan implementation. The plan made a number of specific proposals but few were implemented.
