Six thousand one hundred fifty acres of land in the Rupganj Thana and Kaliganj Thana areas have been selected for this. Twenty-six thousand residential buildings and 62,000 apartments will be built here. This township is divided into 30 sectors.

This is a project of Rajuk. 1995, the Purbachal New City Project was adopted to expand Dhaka's capital. From July 1995 to December 2020, the implementation of this project has been 68 per cent.
