The Layout: Mirpur 1 has a planned street network - not the chaotic maze you find in older parts of Dhaka.


How It's Organized:




  • Sony Square sits at the center as the main hub

  • Streets radiate out from there in a grid-like pattern

  • Residential blocks with numbered streets/lanes

  • Main Mirpur Road cuts through the area


Types of Streets:




  • Commercial strips near Sony Square (shops, markets)

  • Residential roads for housing areas

  • Connecting roads to other Mirpur sections


Getting Around:




  • Wide enough for buses and cars on main roads

  • Narrower lanes for local traffic

  • Metro stations accessible from main streets


What Makes It Different: Unlike old Dhaka's winding alleys, Mirpur 1's streets follow a more systematic layout - you can actually navigate without getting completely lost!


Local Reference: Everyone uses Sony Square as the starting point for directions - it's like the neighborhood's GPS coordinate.
