Abstract
Abstract Civic environmentalism is gaining new momentum in the Global South in response to the state's structural failure to provide its citizens with urban environmental services and social justice. Dhaka, one of the world's biggest megacities, suffers from a large poverty stricken population, which leads to a gap in environmental services for poor and rich. In recent years, Dhaka has experienced a growing momentum with the environmental justice movement particularly led by poor marginalized people demanding their environmental rights and justice. A confrontational situation arises when the state and the citizens stand against each other. This article illustrates the process of unequal environmental burden placed on the poor marginalized citizens and their subsequent mobilization demanding urban environmental justice in megacity Dhaka.
