Great quiz! I find it interesting that Gazipur and Narayanganj are separate from Dhaka. I've heard of those places, but I don't think I've been to either of them, so I never realized they are not technically part of Dhaka (although it does seem that they are part of the Greater Dhaka Agglomeration).
On a different note, is Savar not part of the "citypopulation.de" statistics?
Thank you! They are absolutely part of Greater Dhaka. I find it interesting how even the urban area figures seperate Gazipur and Narayanganj on citypopulation.de's website, while Savar is shown in grey (which I assume means they absorbed it into Dhaka). Citypopulation.de isn't always my favourite source, for a few of reasons... I never get these decisions :/
Bangladeshi here. Gazipur,Narayanganj,Savar,Tongi are not part of Dhaka. They are also not part of Dhaka metro. Gazipur & Narayanganj has it's own city corporation which is different from Dhaka North & South city corporation. Tongi & Savar has it's own municipality which doesn't administered under Dhaka.
I believe you are making a confusion between the city proper and the metro figures. These cities are part of the Dhaka metro area, as they form a contiguous population area, yet they are not a part of Dhaka's city limits as they have their own administration.
great ! citypopulation gives stats about the 9 most populated cities only plus districts and upazillas. In addition, the section about bangladesh administration on wikipedia is a complete mess ! if you have a good source with the data from the 2022 census please send me the link/pdf, thank you. more seriously the quiz isnt perfect but finding data about bangladesh is a total pain and it's actually the same cities + the fact that you have a map to help you. I guess the quiz can be updated as soon as we get reliable information ! (please send if you find some)
অনেক অনেক ধন্যবাদ
