With the gradual increase in population and rapid urbanisation, the number of open spaces in our megacity is drastically decreasing.
We had the Dhaka Metropolitan Development Plan (DMDP) previously, the duration of which was 20 years, from 1995 till 2015. There were three stages of that plan: Structure Plan for the whole city area, Urban Area Plan, which was for ten years, and Detailed Area Plan (DAP).
With the existing Dhaka Metropolitan Development plan (DMDP) 1995-2015 mostly unimplemented, and its term expiring this year, Rajuk has embarked on drawing up a new master plan.
