Mohammad Liaqat Ali has been living in the old part of Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka for the last two decades. The area is also addressed as “Old Dhaka” after the massive extension of the megacity with new settlements to meet the demands of a growing population and new arrivals, who have migrated to the capital town from other parts of the country for livelihoods and other causes and the trend is still continuing. The extended areas including some sophisticated upscale zones are now the home to the greater part of above 20 million city dwellers.
