Future development

Dhaka is undergoing one of the most ambitious infrastructural transformations in its history, aiming to modernize transport and boost economic capacity.

* **Dhaka Metro Rail (MRT):** The inauguration of MRT Line-6 is already transforming daily commutes. Several other lines (Line 1, Line 5) are currently under construction, promising a comprehensive transit network by 2030. * **Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport Terminal 3:** A state-of-the-art new terminal is nearing full operation, set to more than double the airport's passenger and cargo capacity with modern amenities. * **Dhaka Elevated Expressway:** Designed to bypass city congestion, this toll road connects the northern entry points of the city directly to the southern commercial districts and the airport. * **Purbachal New Town & Smart City Initiatives:** A massive planned township on the northeastern outskirts of Dhaka aimed at decongesting the core city, featuring modern zoning, eco-parks, and international standard stadiums and trade centers.
