PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In developing countries, TIA process is compulsory for large projects and above a certain size for example: all projects occupying 300 parking units or larger than 2000 sq. meters of gross floor area or projects that will generate more than 100 new traffics in the peak hour. Hazi Salauddin Green City Commercial Complex is located in Kanchpur at Sonargaon Upazila in Narayanganj District, by the Dhaka-Sylhet National Highway (N2) and only 500m apart from the major intersection at Kanchpur.
