Dhaka

Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. Dhaka is a megacity, and has a population of 10.2 million residents as of 2022, and a population of over 22.4 million residents in Greater Dhaka.[15][16][17] It is widely considered to be one of the most densely populated built-up urban area in the world.

It is located just north of the Buriganga River, a channel of the Dhaleswari River, in the south-central part of the country. Dhaka is Bangladesh’s most populous city and is one of the largest metropolises in South Asia. Pop. (2001) city, 5,333,571; metro. area, 9,672,763; (2011) city, 7,033,075; metro. area, 14,543,124.

Rising Flood Risks in Bangladesh From 1988 to 2022, the population of Dhaka ballooned from 5.7 million people to more than 22 million. That tremendous rate of growth has made Bangladesh’s capital among the most densely populated cities in the world. It also means many more people now live in areas prone to flooding. The growth of the city is evident in the Landsat images above. The Thematic Mapper on Landsat 5 captured the top image on February 19, 1988; the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured the centre image on March 20, 2022. The city is surrounded by rivers and tributaries: the Buriganga to the south, the Turag to the west, the Tongi Khal to the north, and the Balu to the east. According to one recent analysis of Dhaka’s population since 2000, growth has been particularly rapid along the Buriganga and the Balu rivers. A team of researchers from Penn State, Curtin University, and the University of Chittagong recently analyzed satellite observations of nighttime lights and land use to track population growth in flood-prone areas. In June 2022, they reported that roughly 70 million people in Bangladesh now live in flood-prone areas (within 2 kilometers of a river), about 1.5 million more than in 2000. In Dhaka, about 6 million people live in flood zones. The researchers based part of their analysis on nighttime observations from the Operational Linescan System (OLS) on U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi-NPP satellite. Cities throughout Bangladesh saw increased light in floodplains throughout the country from 2000 to 2018. Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Sylhet, and Mymensingh were among the cities with pronounced increases. The bottom image shows nighttime lights in Bangladesh as observed with the VIIRS day-night band on December 1, 2021. “The total nighttime light luminosity within 2 kilometers of rivers increased by 235 percent throughout Bangladesh,” said Arif Masrur, the Penn State University geographer who co-authored the study. “As the population grows, the scarcity of land is fueling unplanned development in floodplains. More people are moving into floodplains to farm rice or fish, or to simply have somewhere to live.” The number of people in floodplains may even be larger than the nighttime luminosity data suggests. “It is safe to assume that many households within 2 kilometers of rivers lack connections to the electrical grid,” explained Ashraf Dewan, an environmental geographer based at Curtin University and co-author of the study. “While OLS and VIIRS can detect whole villages reliably, the sensors don’t always detect more isolated homes or homes that use power sparingly to save money, particularly in areas with lots of vegetation.” Floods in 1988 swamped Dhaka and led to the deaths of more than 2,000 people. Another catastrophic flood in 1998 killed 900 people and caused $3.5 billion in damages, according to Dewan. In some parts of the low-lying city, shanty towns and other informal settlements have pushed into ephemeral wetlands known as khals, sharply increasing the risks from damaging monsoon season floods. A prime example is Korail, a poor neighborhood that has spread into a lake. Homes are built on stilts and the neighborhood routinely floods during heavy rains. “We hope this research makes the scale of the issue clear for policymakers,” said Dewan. “If this trend continues, more homes will be destroyed, and more lives will be lost.” NASA Earth Observatory images by Lauren Dauphin, using Landsat data from the U.S. Geological Survey and VIIRS day-night band data from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership.

Desperate Urbanization- Rasel Chowdhury

Born in Bangladesh in 1988, Rasel Chowdhury is a documentary photographer . Obtaining his degree in photography in Pathshala, South Asian Media Insitute. Starting Photography with no conscious plan, however, he slowly gained his muse in documenting the land and area around the city he grew up in. His work focuses on the changing landscape and environmental issues in his home country.

Chowdhury started to document the changing and wilting Burlganga and the dying city of Sonargaon, along with other places.

as the Artist states. The city of Dhaka has rapidly changed along with the Buriganga River. Now the river can not naturally flow. the death of the river meaning the booming of industrial life in with in the growing city. Within the city, factories are booming with work and life. The river is subjected to harmful chemicals and human waste from the whole city Nearly 700 brick fields, docks, and oils from boats and steamers pollute the river.

Chowdhury wanted to comment and show the reality of the booming industry. A boom factory means more work and thus more money to live but it also means the death of life and nature, with the invasion of human waste and pollution.

A Captivating Blend of History, Culture, and Vibrant Experiences

Welcome to Dhaka, the vivacious capital of Bangladesh, where a wealth of historically significant sites, thriving marketplaces, and magnificent buildings await. 

We urge you to explore the must-do activities in this blog to ensure that your trip to Dhaka is genuinely unforgettable.

Immerse Yourself in Historic Old Dhaka: 

Travel through time as you stroll through Old Dhaka's charming streets. Spend some time getting lost at Shankhari Bazaar's maze-like passageways, which are known for their centuries-old silver jewelry trade. See Ahsan Manzil's architectural brilliance. The pink palace was previously home to the Nawabs of Dhaka. Don't pass up the opportunity to see Lalbagh Fort, a beautiful Mughal castle from the 17th century, and the close-by Star Mosque with its captivating mosaic artwork.

Visit the National Museum to Begin a Cultural Journey:

A trip to the National Museum is essential for gaining a greater understanding of Bangladesh's rich history and culture. Explore the extensive collection of antiquities, which includes historical relics, archaeological finds, and intriguing creations. Allow the displays to enthrall you as they provide a window into this fascinating nation's history.

Get Your Senses Excited in the Busy Markets:

Dhaka's bustling markets, where an explosion of hues, noises, and smells awaits, will enchant you. If you observe the busy boat activity on the Buriganga River, you can feel the energy of Sadarghat, the largest river port in Bangladesh. Spend some time getting lost in the colorful stalls of Shankar Market and Kawran Bazar, where you can buy everything from a variety of fresh vegetables and aromatic spices to stylish clothing and accessories.
