The planning system in Dhaka is a British system in which urban policies are presented at several levels. Regarding the past plans, it seems that there are relatively suitable policies in the projects, as there are a lot of up-to-date issues such as sustainability, community participation, risk consideration, financial mechanisms, etc. However, the problems of implementation seem to be the main challenge of Dhaka.
