ArchSociety is trying to publish the planning strategic maps of Dhaka city gradually to help the architects and planners of Bangladesh. ArchSociety has already provided you with several important maps of Dhaka including some scaled drawing in AutoCAD format.
Now a map of Dhaka of 1850 is also included in our database. Few more strategic and historical maps have been added. And whenever ArchSociety gets any data related to planning of Dhaka it will be published in the category. Visit:
http://www.archsociety.com/download.php?list.9Some people may comment that these are the property of RAJUK and ArchSociety may not have the right to publish these maps through internet. ArchSociety denies this concept. ArchSociety believes ‘all the planning information should be public’ and ‘knowledge should be open’.
