Presently, Infrastructure management becomes the top priority of each government body to provide the best quality life to its citizens. However, due to lack of resources and rapid population growth, a big share of its citizens are deprived from their basic services. The most common services that are expected to provide from the government bodies includes education, utilities, recreational facilities, community services etc. Due to unplanned distribution of its resources, some regions are overly served whereas other regions have no accessibility to those services. Hence, it is utmost importance to formulate the policy to have equivalent access to each facility or service in terms of travel time or distance, travel cost, comfort etc. As a case study, Rajshahi City Corporation Area has been considered to analyze the performance of its public services using geospatial data and the policy and recommendations have been drawn.
