mapping of the jute mills and their changing relation to the city morphology


After 1950 Khulna witnessed a significant industrial progress. The jute mills came into operation during this period (1954-71). All are sponsored by the former East Pakistan Industrial Development Corporation.

From a first mapping of the mills, their location within important industrial areas as Kalishpur, Daulatpur and Atra is evident. Further their proximity to waterways and the railway line is strategic for the import of raw material and the export of the end products.
