Abstract

Narayanganj was a very important port from ancient times in the history of Bangladesh. Over the course of time, it is losing its originality because of technical advancement of contemporary life style. From the wounds of unplanned rapid urbanization, this largest river port of the country is now facing a great challenge to maintain its functionality due to lack of public awareness. An investigative social survey and historical literature evidence were adopted as method. Tentative recommendations based on social view analysis, might demonstrate the possible links for further maintainable remodeling by the custody of multipurpose communication hub. Such analysis will also reveal the various potentials introducing cutting age transportation techniques for implementing and securing Bangladesh‟s developing quest to achieve one of the top 20 economies status in 2041. By potential rehabilitation of neglected suburban areas, this port city can also be an income generating hub by adjusting bus, train and ships along with the historic site.
Keywords: Narayanganj, Jute, Communication, Multipurpose Port, Transportation Hub.
