Dhaka has emerged as the 9th megacity in the world, with a population of more than one crore. There are lots of problems in Dhaka city as, traffic jams, mosquitos, frequent power disruptions, polluted water, a poor wastage disposal network, irregularities in charges for services like telephone bills and housing one. As the population of the city is increasing day by day in leaps and bounds, the city is facing acute housing problems. Taking the residential need of the present population in Dhaka, it is estimated that 70 percent of the total popultion squeeze into 20 percent of residential lands. This group belongs to the lower income bracket. The upper income group constitutes 2 percent of the total population of Dhaka city and occupies 15 percent of total residential area. Though real estate development by private developers in recent years has solved the residential problems of middle and upper middle class significantly, the needs of lower income group including slum dwellers have not been addressed by any agency. The real estate companies are not being able to meet the housing problems fully. Because people from village and other city corporation like Rangpur, Chattogram, Rajshahi etc. rushing to Dhaka city for getting working opportunity. As a result population of this city is expanding to a great extent. In this city slum dwellers are also increasing day by day, because poor people cannot provide the housing costs and they habituated to live in slum. Facing the housing problems it requires the sincere efforts and programs with adequate fund and staff. The population growth of Dhaka city should be stopped which requires creation of employment opportunities in rural areas and developing mini-urban areas at upazilla level. To meet this problem slums may be upgraded with modern facilities in areas where government or other agencies not have plans to build in the near future. Furthermore, strict control on the purchase of land and their use should be enforced. If the necessary steps are not taken to solve this problem or delay in undertaking rigorous initiatives may result into devastating effects on civic life. For this, the government, city dwellers themselves, politicians, media and intelligentsia all should take part in making the city liveable.
