I don't think they're all that great man, but I remember flying over Bangladesh on my way to Dubai, was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen

Bangladesh is amazing ! I looked at Dhaka's skyline and was really impressed ! There are many huge malls as the economy is expanding very fast ! Barabandra town ( plz correct me ) has fantastic skylines !

Dhaka is only 4 hours from here. Will surely visit Bangladesh ! Have I said that my best friend is a Bangladeshi

Kemal Attaturk Avenue is full of towers. The density is mindblowing.


High-rises are popping up everywhere everyday in Metro Dhaka.


Mohakhali is a business area in Dhaka with a lot of high-rises.

If THIS is mindblowing, so what are Shanghai, NYC, Hong Kong or Sao Paulo?

Skyprince, if you do come to Dhaka I suggest the best time would be around mid April. Thats when the Bengali new year is celebrated and trust me- it will be a festival you will remember for ages!

I'm not critiscizing other cities, I'm talking about my own city.....those densities are wonderful as well and so is this. There is also a popular saying I'm pretty fond of "If you can't say anything good then don't say anything!"

Why should I? If I find nothing mindblowing or impressive about this, I can say it. I do not bash Dhaka, I do only say what I think. And since this is a democratic forum, everyone has the right to say his honest opinion - even if it is a critic opinion... If you don't want negative comments you shouldn't post in a forum...

seems that you envy this city..

as you've said, this is a democratic forum, and everyone has the right to say that this city is mindblowing as much as you have the right also to critisize this.

anyway, i love those pictures.. I never thought Bangladesh looks as develop as that..Blame the media..

@Thaaron, i kinda disagree that it looks a bit like Philippines. But Israel so to say. Philippines has a very modern reputation, skyline-wise. This city is just as lovely as Tel Aviv.. Minus some height..
