A Smarter City for Bangladesh

Pedestrian City
Making New Dhaka a truly human-scale walk able city. The city is designed around the pedestrian, not the car or the buildings.

Neighborhood Focused
Keeping local scale small – allowing neighborhoods do grow together into meaningful communities.

Give Back
From free bus service to an Open Source architectural drawings library, New Dhaka is ready to give back.

How can New Dhaka grow while also helping others?
We have boiled it down to 5 elements:
Pedestrian City
Organically Ordered
Neighborhood Focused
Signature Nodes
Give Back
A Pedestrian City
Our economic foundation is that all levels of commerce are welcome and encouraged to flourish, from the street vendor to international firms.

NDSpline
An easily expandable prefabricated modular solution to the critical component of proper sewage, water and power distribution. Once installed there is no further need to excavate for maintenance or repair, eliminating road closures that snarl traffic and services.
Pre-Fab Market stands
Using standard 10′ shipping containers, easily converted to independent, securable and powered market stands, New Dhaka welcomes the street merchant to become part of the city fabric.
International Conference
The New Dhaka Urban Research Institute will host an annual international conference, DhaCon, on urban planning to explore and discuss the latest trends, with a special emphasis on developing countries.
