Dhaka District Map

Dhaka District is one of the most prominent administrative regions in Bangladesh, encompassing the capital city and its surrounding sub-districts. Located in the central part of the country, it serves as a vital hub for governance, commerce, transportation, and urban development. The district is bordered by Tangail to the north, Gazipur and Narayanganj to the east, Munshiganj to the south, and Manikganj to the west. Dhaka District includes key upazilas such as Savar, Keraniganj, Nawabganj, Dohar, and Dhamrai, each contributing to the region’s demographic diversity and infrastructural complexity. A detailed map of Dhaka—covering roads, rivers, settlements, and planning zones—provides essential insights for researchers, planners, and residents seeking to understand the spatial dynamics of one of South Asia’s fastest-growing urban regions.

Beyond basic geography, users are increasingly downloading Rajuk’s DAP maps and overlays for Dhaka, Narayanganj, and Gazipur. These documents outline zoning regulations, land use policies, and future development plans under the Detailed Area Plan framework. The interest is driven by:

• Concerns Over Forced Evictions: Residents in Keraniganj, Savar, and parts of Old Dhaka are using DAP maps to understand whether their homes fall within “redevelopment” or “restricted” zones.
• Political Organizing: Activists and opposition parties are analyzing constituency boundaries and demographic layouts to strategize for upcoming elections.
• Legal and Civic Advocacy: Lawyers and NGOs are referencing DAP documents in land rights cases and urban justice campaigns.
• Citizen Journalism: bdnewsnet.com’s open-access model has empowered grassroots contributors to use these maps in exposés and local reporting.
