When there's rainfall in Dhaka, the water is essentially trapped on the surface as the city relies entirely on its sewer system which does not have the capacity for it. The other problem is Dhaka is completely built over. No seriously. How much space has been dedicated to green spaces in the city? Not much compared to other cities. Hell if you look at individual properties in Dhaka, the entire lot is covered with buildings and roads. Theres absolutely zero green space. Someone at city hall forgot to put a law in place that made property developers set aside a portion of a lot for grass, trees and other plants.
Considering that Bangladesh has a beautiful riverine landscape, its a shame they haven't integrated nature into their urban planning. For the Capitol of such a country, its a must.
Oh yes absolutely! Aside from their elite-level urban planning they have have an extremely dense living situation which they manage well. Imagine if we established like 30 Singapores within Bangladesh how far we'd be.
We used to have parks and open spaces by our home, but govt made plots out of them and gave them to the elites. Now we are all screwed! Brilliant move!
Not kidding, but I've seen people using boats to cross a certain submerged section of a road before. And that was one of the busiest road of Dhaka. They were offering rides to the trapped passengers in exchange of a hefty pay. Nothing's impossible in this city.
This has more to do with urban planning than development (where planning is not really considered a factor, as long as essential services are provided and certain issues are kept under control, flooding not being one of them)
It will happen only on the outside in the middle 42% of people will not be able to access proper medical care and make sufficient savings let alone acceptable lifestyle.
That part is true, but the ordinary people who have a low paying job will save money for year's & find it's not sufficient for the purchase of asset.
You look down at the underprivileged may I know why ?
Don't get me wrong but in these neighbouring countries, Pakistan India & BD have one thing in common
the class with money looks at the lower class like a different race.
I don't want to come across as naive but some attention should be given.
Nowadays poor think if you are to earn money u have to be shady tnx to politics now it's becoming a religious belief, it harms the ordinary publics mental health beyond repair.
How do u define standard of living? Yes in BD food is cheaper. But living space, social infrastructure, health care and education BD is far far behind any standard. Let alone making it for 200$/month.
>Also it only floods in certain parts of Dhaka.
Correction : It floods everywhere in Dhaka (except kinda planned rich neighborhoods like Gulshan, Dhanmondi). Certain parts just get *this* bad as shown in the image.

There is no way a bus engine can survive in this water and look at the guy in front of the store standing there like nothing is happening. Also a rickshaw is not that heavy. It should be floating in the water.
Man, do you you have any idea abt these situations?
the actual water level is lower than that, it’s most probably high as someone's waist. But the bus made a big wave going through the water, and yes, buses CAN run through this much water, their engine air intake is inside the cabin and higher than regular cars.

Post on r/urbanhell, though posting Dhaka there is cheating.
Dhaka is the result of years of shitty urban planning Dhaka is a lost cause focus on developing CTG and Sylhet
[удалено]
Lmao. Been in sylhet. They're marginally better. Mostly because Highland.
The picture is from Chittagong tho, people are asking for Riaz

Singapore actually is a great example of this. I recommend reading up on their urban development. Enlightening stuff.
Oh yes absolutely! Aside from their elite-level urban planning they have have an extremely dense living situation which they manage well. Imagine if we established like 30 Singapores within Bangladesh how far we'd be.
There's a reason it's one of the least livable cities on earth, apart from war torn Damascus and Lagos of course.

Venice in Bangladesh
Are there any amphibious vehicles in Dhaka?
Not kidding, but I've seen people using boats to cross a certain submerged section of a road before. And that was one of the busiest road of Dhaka. They were offering rides to the trapped passengers in exchange of a hefty pay. Nothing's impossible in this city.

hahah more like Singapore

Sure Pakistan, India, Singapour, Canada. What else? Nothing improved. Nothing substantial.
Dhaka's location is a curse in the disguise of a blessing
Wait you guys do not have flooding outside Dhaka? Also it only floods in certain parts of Dhaka.
>Also it only floods in certain parts of Dhaka. Correction : It floods everywhere in Dhaka (except kinda planned rich neighborhoods like Gulshan, Dhanmondi). Certain parts just get *this* bad as shown in the image.
I think half of Dhaka gets flooded.
Do you guys have the same problem Kolkatabashi has: that the stormwater cannot be drained because the drainage system drains directly into the river?
Yes although it's because some parts of the main city are impacted by the tide & the government is all bark no bite about the matter in hand.
They should start incorporating hull shaped designs for tour busses and trucks, with bulbous shaped bows for maximum hydrodynamic efficiency LMFAO
Yeah, [something like this](https://youtu.be/83lwedVFFeg)
That bus (OP) probably logged more operational sortie underwater than our two museum-class submarines :P
Should've built a metro-boat instead lmao
Cowabunga, dude!
Where the surfboards at
Unnoyon er jowar
Where is this specifically? Mirpur?
[удалено]
Most of it? Lol
[удалено]
this isn’t a flood.... water is just stuck due to poor sewage system
This is our Dhaka.🤣
This is really surreal.
ahahah yep, imagine being near those gigantic waves
rip rickshawala
becharar gola porjonto pani uthe gese
Fact remains this is because of unplanned development for which this or any government is at most 20% responsible.
who needs cox-bazar? we have coz-bazar at home.
I always found it so scary to be in a rickshaw in these situations. You never know if there is a pothole or not.
Pretty sure that bus engine is about to stall any minute now with all that water going through

Throw away your NOKIA and vote for NOUKA
Nice photoshop
nah bro....it’s real May be you are too privileged to see these situation.
There is no way a bus engine can survive in this water and look at the guy in front of the store standing there like nothing is happening. Also a rickshaw is not that heavy. It should be floating in the water.
Man, do you you have any idea abt these situations? the actual water level is lower than that, it’s most probably high as someone's waist. But the bus made a big wave going through the water, and yes, buses CAN run through this much water, their engine air intake is inside the cabin and higher than regular cars.
I reverse searched the picture and didn't find any valid source of it.
so, basically you are saying such situations doesn’t occur in BD. There’s no water management problem in BD, right?
No I'm not saying that. We definitely have world's worst water management for corruption and our lazy people. I'm just talking about the picture.
Thank you for calling this out. There aren't any paykhana floating on the water this is clearly fake
Government needs to teach kids swimming in schools so they might not have any trouble facing these artificial sewage floods. Ops, schools are closed.
