New Dhaka (Bengali: নতুন ঢাকা, romanized: Notun Dhaka or Bengali: নয়া ঢাকা, romanized: Noya Dhaka), is an unofficial term used to describe the area located north of Old Dhaka that has been incorporated in the city of Dhaka, the capital and largest city of Bangladesh over time. The term is ambiguous, as it may refer either to upscale and/or planned neighbourhoods with wider streets, modern buildings, and improved facilities, or to the city of Dhaka excluding the Old Dhaka region.
History
After the independence of Bangladesh, Dhaka became the capital of the new country. As immigrants from the other regions of the country started to visit the city more, the city expanded from the south to the northern region of Tongi–Gazipur. The expended part became known as "New Dhaka", and Dhakaiyas, natives of the Old Dhaka, started to call the residents of the new city "New Dhakaiyas". In 2021, the fourth Hasina ministry expressed the desire to expand New Dhaka beyond Turag River towards west.
Society
As of researcher M Mamun Hossain, most people of New Dhaka live under a Single-family detached home.
