GDP of Karachi is bigger than Dhaka and Lahore is miles better than Chittagong in any category hands down . I don't think anybody will like the cramped up streets of Bengali cities . As for Islamabad whats stopping Bangladesh from planning such a developed city ? . We can be proud of the fact that we have a city that is of international standard in any criteria . Its not a small city total population is 2 million these days what makes it great is the planning and precision .
Bangladesh had such showcase cities and planned suburbs, although on a smaller scale spread around Dhaka. We don't really believe in elitist culture, though we do have it. It is nowhere near that practiced in Pakistan. Having a showcase city for politicians is pointless if it doesn't produce anything but heated conversation about how to share the spoils, instead of doing actual good. Like the U.N. mandated millennium goals for health education etc. Which is being planned by our NGOs like Grameen and BRAC. But not to worry, we are training activists from India and Pakistan too, so you can have social equality one day.
The famous second capital city in Dhaka (Sher-e-Bangla Nagar) was designed prior to Islamabad, but is smaller, because the budget was later diverted to Islamabad as one poster explained. There are model towns in Dhanmandi, Banani and Gulshan as well as newer ones at Baridhara and Bashundhara that has infrastructure, houses and condo complexes rivalling anything in Pakistan or even Europe for that matter.
But over time - business, housing and commercial needs have eroded the fundamental single-family housing structure of these model towns, so that all now consist of seven to eight story high rise luxury condo units. For lower income housing, Dhaka has over two hundred plus twenty story high rise complexes, a la Singapore's NTU flat schemes. Some were built by the govt.
I have listed all these in my Bangladesh midrise architecture thread here,
