Benefits of Newly Introduced Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in Dhaka City

The book "Benefits of Newly Introduced Floor Area Ratio (FAR) in Dhaka City" offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges that the capital Dhaka faces due to its rapid urbanization and population growth. It examines the existing conditions of the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and other development control regulations introduced by planning authorities to manage the city's growth and regulate land use. In particular, it focuses on Sector 13 in Uttara, where the application of building regulations, especially the FAR, is a common practice. The book highlights the issues faced by residents, such as inadequate air circulation and lack of access to sunlight, and analyzes compliance with regulations such as setback and height restrictions for buildings. This study is significant for urban planners, architects, and decision-makers interested in the sustainable development of urban areas.
