Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk)

Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (abbreviated as RAJUK; literally the Capital Development Authority of
the Government of Bangladesh) is a Bangladeshi public agency responsible for coordinating urban
development in Dhaka, Bangladesh. RAJUK is composed of various public officials, city planners, urban
administrators, engineers, and architects.

It is the National Authoritative Board on building planning, estates and resources, plot allotment, and
construction approvals from both public and private entities. It utilizes the Dhaka Improvement Trust
(Allotment of Land) Rule of 1969 and The Town Improvement Act of 1953, both scribed since before the
Independence of Bangladesh.

Activities
It carries out drives against building code violations in Dhaka City. This is challenging as policing of illegal
development is limited. The agency is supposed to generate revenue from city land, which many feel
conflicts with its strategic and planning functions.
