The document discusses transportation complications in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It provides background on past master plans for Dhaka from 1917 onward, noting their limitations in accounting for population growth. Long term transportation plans are also outlined from 1994 to 2010. The current transportation system relies heavily on rickshaws, with problems including unorganized road networks, mixed traffic modes, lack of signs and enforcement, and traffic jams exacerbated by road construction and political events. Solutions proposed include improving law enforcement, qualifications, signs and markings, use of overpasses, and addressing issues like parking and footpath blocking.

3. DHAKA CITY [MASTER PLAN]
 The first formal plan for Dhaka was made in 1917 by Professor Patrick Geddes.
 The Master Plan for Dhaka 1960 Master Plan report was comprehensive and
sensible.
 Plan and the population projections could not cover growth after 1971.
 At the predicted growth rate the plan was for an increase of 0.4 million in
population in 20 years time. In reality the increase in Dhaka's population 20 years
later was more than 3.0

4. DHAKA CITY [MASTER PLAN]
 Master plan of 1997 is still not executed, the process is too slow.
 By 2005 RAJUK [Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha] should have completed all the
detailed area plans and started their implementation at the local level.
 Till now people are not sill aware of the DAP and its contents.
 One of the major components of the Master Plan "Institutional Strengthening of
RAJUK," has not been considered by RAJUK.
