#Perspective / How fog creates Dhaka’s most Instagrammable season

Winter fog in Dhaka transforms the city into a cinematic wonderland, turning everyday scenes into Instagram gold. With its soft glow and mystical effect, fog enhances the city’s charm, creating a sense of romanticism and beauty in ordinary moments.

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

Dangers of our urban living

During the early 90s, the term urban was limited to a small radius in the city of Dhaka. Fast forward 30 years, and the term “urban” has spread as far as the horizon of the ever-growing mega city. As the new era preceded its adverse effects with full force, the urbanites adapted accordingly. From carrying briefcases while donning baggy trousers to carrying a backpack with slim-fit jeans, a lot has changed if you look at the era with a microscope.

More poor in urban areas by 2030

Chasing pot of gold people have long been setting off for urban areas from rural Bangladesh.
