Abstract

Dhaka is one of the largest and most rapidly growing cities in the world. Its political history, huge population size, and contemporary development challenges have made this city an interesting area of study. The aim of this entry is to provide a brief description of these phenomena. Despite the city being called “a city of poverty,” it can still be “a city of opportunity.” Dhaka might be a safer place to do business and a more sustainable place to live if political stability and good governance could be ensured.
