The historic architecture by the river ‘Buriganga’ in Dhaka, Bangladesh is full of splendour in contrast with the rapid urbanization throughout the city. The city structures in old Dhaka is simple and had an orientation of involving infrastructure and an imaginary that is reflective of its ruler. The culture unveils its true identity through the footprints of heritage structures and the nearby river which has transformed over the decades. The paper discusses the problems of such majestic structures and opportunities that results from its conservation and finally comes up with proposals of expanding to the edge of precious landscape of wetlands and terrains by ushering a conception of a city that integrates urbanism and heritage to yield greater economic prosperity.
