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.[1][2] 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.[3][4]
