This image depicts the skyline of Bogra, a regional city in northern Bangladesh, illustrating the layered character of contemporary urbanisation. The scene combines unfinished high-rise structures with older mid-rise buildings, colourful façades, and dense signage, revealing the patchwork nature of South Asian city growth. Commercial advertisements, including one for cement, highlight the entanglement of construction and consumer culture in everyday life. Bogra’s urban transformation reflects broader dynamics of rapid population growth, speculative building, and uneven infrastructure investment typical of many Bangladeshi cities. While new developments signal aspirations of modernisation, they also expose tensions between planned expansion and the realities of informal growth.
