    RAJUK (Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha) is responsible for the development of Dhaka city. It was formed in 1987 to replace the Dhaka Improvement Trust. RAJUK oversees planning, development, and development control across 8 zones covering 1,528 square kilometers. However, research finds RAJUK faces governance challenges including lack of human resource capacity, ineffective budget use, and lack of coordination and digitalization. Recommendations to address these issues include legal and institutional reforms, increasing accountability and transparency, and enriching RAJUK's capacity through digital mapping and a citizen charter.
