Gulshan (Bengali: গুলশান, romanized: Gulaśāna) is a thana situated in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[7] It is an affluent residential and business neighbourhood[8][9] and is now home to a number of the city's restaurants, five star hotels,[10] shopping centers, schools, banks, offices and members' clubs; it also hosts the majority of embassies and high commissions in Bangladesh.[11] Many Bangladeshi and international companies have their offices in Gulshan.[12][13]

History

[edit]

An old village named Bhola Gram used to be located in what is now Gulshan.[14][15] The city was founded as a planned model town in 1961 with its own pourashabha (municipal corporation), while the neighbouring Banani was founded in 1964. Gulshan Thana was established in 1972.[2] Gulshan Pourashabha was abolished in 1982.[16] In 1984, Gulshan, along with Mirpur municipality, was absorbed into Dhaka.[17]

The area was originally built with the purpose of being solely residential; however, over the years many commercial buildings have been set up in the area. Gulshan is now a mix of a serene residential area and also a city center with shopping malls and commercial buildings. The Gulshan city center consists of Gulshan, Baridhara and Niketan. The thana of Gulshan also includes the neighborhood of Mohakhali to the southwest.[18] Banani was a part of Gulshan Thana, but was separated with the establishment of Banani Thana. Despite this, Banani and Gulshan are often referred together as "Gulshan-Banani", due to their proximity, same characteristics and history and being in the same thana, before the establishment of Banani Thana.

On 3 January 2017, at approximately 2:30 a.m.,[19] a fire broke out in a local market, DCC, in Gulshan.[20][21]

Geography

[edit]

The Gulshan Thana comprises an area of 8.85 km2, consisting of ward 18 and ward 19 (partial),[22] including Gulshan Model Town, consisting of Gulshan circle 1 and circle 2, Baridhara Diplomatic Zone, Mohakhali,[23] and Niketan Housing Society.[24] 50% of the area is residential, 20% commercial and 12% is the diplomatic area. 18% of land in Gulshan consists of other areas, including slums, of which the biggest is the Karail slum and Gulshan Lake.[25]

Gulshan is a commercial and residential area,[26] originally meant for offices and embassies of diplomatic missions, as well as residences. The area has seen an upsurge in the number of high-rise buildings, restaurants, residential areas, modern markets and ice-cream parlors since the mid-1990s.[27] The independent houses of the early 1970s that stood far from each other in the Gulshan area have vanished because of the commercial boom, to the point that older residents claim it is no longer a residential area.[28]

Though Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara, as well as Uttara and other satellite towns like Bashundhara, are relatively on higher lands, substantial parts of the Gulshan Thana area remained underwater for a prolonged duration during the 1998 Bangladesh floods. Dhaka WASA conducted a survey to investigate the causes of and remedial measures in 1998 with a particular focus on the Gulshan Lake and the Gulshan and Banani canals. Flood water runoff flows into these water bodies practically turning these into buffer flood control reservoirs, except for some pockets of transient water-logging.[29][30] Drains and sewerage pipes dumping wastes in the Gulshan lake has been identified as major pollution problem by DWASA.[31] The malodorous wastes tend to spill over when the roads are flooded.[32]
