My home town "Dhaka"

Dhaka is the capital city of Bangladesh. It is a megacity and one of the major cities of South Asia. Dhaka has an estimated population of more than 15 million people, making it the largest city in Bangladesh and the 9th largest city in the world.It is known as the City of Mosques, and with 400,000 cycle-rickshaws running on its streets every day, the city is described as the Rickshaw Capital of the World.

Although its urban infrastructure is among the most developed in the country, the city suffers from chronic urban challenges of poverty, pollution and overpopulation. It is modernizing its transport and communications, and has been attracting large volumes of foreign investments in recent years. Dhaka has also emerged as one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
