Dhaka is witnessing a process of urban expansion at sheer scale and speed. With the growing influx of population, the geographical boundary of Dhaka is also expanding. Satellite towns are planned at the fringe and outskirt of the city to meet the housing demand of increased population. Realizing that -in absence of efficient commuter facility this vision of decentralization of the city may be futile- a strategic transport plan (STP 2005) has been prepared recently proposing metro & bus rapid transit and construction of new link roads, circular roads and flyovers for connecting the satellite towns with the rest of Dhaka. If these towns are not (re)designed or (re)qualified to be transit oriented, the benefits of proposed transit system at community level cannot be ensured. The research finds neighbourhood TOD (transit oriented development) can be a planning approach to create more liveable neighbourhoods in suburbs of Dhaka city by reducing private car dependency while providing alternative public transport choices, safe and comfortable pedestrian pathways for fast and convenient access to transit stops and community facilities. Following that vision, this study attempts to rethink Uttara Model Township-a satellite town located at the northern end of Dhaka, with a goal to present a community vision that best utilizes the opportunity created by the proposed transit specifically, MRT, BRT, elevated express way and Western Bypass while creating new local transportation options, pedestrian-friendly environments and recreational opportunities.]]>
