The brief information paper about Association. Real Estate & Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB) at a glance. The information pertains to the year 2004. Urbanization is an outcome of both population growth and rural-urban migration. As urbanization increases, more and more people are becoming city dwellers. Bangladesh is not an exception to that picture. The ever-increasing urban population is catering to the increasing demand for shelter. The right to shelter is a fundamental right, which is ensured by both the UN declaration and the constitution of Bangladesh.

The objective of REHAB was to promote formal private sector Real Estate Development in Bangladesh.
