20. The revival
Remaining risks and obstacles:
• he cultural shock, elitism in the uses could lead to a confrontation with the conservative portion of
T
the community.
• he project is still isolated, a comprehensive conservation plan and policies for re-use are not
T
established, so the deterioration of the town is slowly continuing outside the Pearling protection
zone.
• he local community still regards muharraq as a place where it‘s difficult to live.

40,000/sq km
Dhaka’s Unprecedented Population Density:!The urban area is the world’s most dense, having
recently passed Hong Kong (based, again on United Nations estimates and projections). Covering a
land area of little more than 100 square miles, Dhaka’s population density is now approaching in
excess of 100,000 per square mile (40,000 per square kilometer). At that density, the New York urban
area would accommodate all of the population of the United States!and Mexico.
