My Dhaka / Dhaka: Day one and counting

There are too many people in Dhaka. So many that it’s choking the city. However, every person here is here for a reason.

Our forgotten elderly

In many cities around the world, elderly people literally cannot cross the road because the timing on crossing signals is too brief. At least we don’t have that problem in Dhaka, if only due to the absence of functional traffic lights.

Do we have a vision for Dhaka?

Dhaka is now a black hole: a city consuming millions of residents but has no sense of quality life.

What do Dhaka and Bangkok have in common?

Unplanned transport infrastructure.

How to reclaim flyovers as people-centric ‘green’ infrastructure

Characterised by a culture of ad hocism, these valuable urban lands below elevated road infrastructures rarely reach their full potential.

What’s happening in Dhaka today?

Whether you want to sway to some classical music or be enraged at the wrongdoings of the society displayed in a tantalising play, the city has it all.

Concert organisers need to do better

Managing sales and picking out the right venue is crucial if Dhaka is headed down the road of indoor concerts.

'Emi, welcome to Bangladesh', writes elated Mashrafe

Bangladesh cricket team's former captain and Member of Parliament, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, expressed his delight in meeting Argentine World Cup winning goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who is currently on a short trip to Dhaka.

No public appearance for Emi Martinez in Dhaka

There will, however, be a few selected guests apart from the Next Ventures officials, at the morning event including former national cricket team’s captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza and state minister for information and communication.

Do we need the 24/7 hustle and bustle of Dhaka – the cacophonous dramas of this sleepless city – reproduced in its parks too?
