Core Vision

A city model that releases pressure from central Dhaka.

Dhaka should become a network of connected centers: a heritage core, a new administrative city, a knowledge city, logistics hubs, medical districts, and green communities.

Relocate institutions

Move the Secretariat, selected ministries, agencies, and future DU expansion to planned districts.

Capture land value

Use transparent PPP concessions and development rights to fund public infrastructure.

Build polycentric Dhaka

Create multiple CBDs across Purbachal, Savar, Keraniganj, Narayanganj, and Gazipur.

Re-green the core

Restore parks, canals, riverfronts, shaded sidewalks, and public plazas.

Decentralization Strategy

Move functions to the right places.

Administrative City

Purbachal edge: ministries, agencies, digital government.

Knowledge City

Purbachal/Rupganj: DU 2.0, AI university, research parks.

Logistics City

Narayanganj/Gazipur edge: wholesale markets, truck depots, cold chain.

Signature Projects

Ten big moves, one integrated city agenda.

New Secretariat Campus

A secure low-carbon administrative campus.

Dhaka University 2.0

A modern campus for AI, engineering, medicine, and public policy.

River & Canal Revival

Restore blue-green flood and drainage infrastructure.

Funding Model

Public land stays public. Development rights fund the future.

Use land-value capture, PPPs, green bonds, climate finance, diaspora bonds, and regulated RWA tokenisation for cash-flowing assets.

Roadmap

A phased plan, not a one-time real-estate project.

0–2 Years

Policy, proof, land mapping, task force, feasibility studies.

3–7 Years

Relocation begins, new campuses start, first PPP tenders.

8–15 Years

Major urban shift, transit expansion, landmark districts.

15–25 Years

Greater Dhaka becomes a networked capital region.

Dhaka cannot be saved by flyovers alone.

GreenDhaka.org can become the public platform for a new urban consensus. Join the initiative, stay updated, or contribute your expertise to help shape the future of our city.
