Towards Transit Oriented Dhaka. The thesis arrives at a moment when Dhaka's mass rapid transit ambition is transitioning from proposal to infrastructure reality: DMRT Line-6 cutting through Agargaon, reorganising the city's movement logic for a generation.
Metamorphosis proposes that a metro station is not merely a transit node but a city-making instrument. At Agargaon, the station becomes a catalyst for transit-oriented development: mixed use density, active ground floor, pedestrian priority surface, and a form that registers the energy of mass movement without resolving it into placelessness.
The title names the condition precisely: Dhaka mid-transformation, the city that was and the city that will be, held simultaneously in a single built form.
