The document criticizes several public spaces in Dhaka for not being responsive, robust, or original in their design. It notes that the Ramna Bridge is unused, the playground at Sorwardi Uddyan is unplanned, and Doyel Chattar is just a sculpture with no surrounding activities. Several structures like watch towers and sculptures are said to not fit with or enrich their surrounding landscapes. In general, the document argues that these public spaces lack integration among their vegetation, structures, and paths, and feel hastily and inefficiently designed.
