Abstract
Being the largest city among other major cities of Bangladesh, Dhaka with a population of over seventeen million is segmented by planned and unplanned developed areas by local city authority, where the people-space interactions are quite diverse according to the treatment and behavioral perception of the place. This paper explores the coherent relationship between the soft edges where the built form meets the adjacent street level and acts diversely with the attachment of the people it commonly shares. The paper is based on a few case studies mostly oriented on active water edges from the city’s planned and unplanned residential neighborhoods. Some common dictating factors will be measured to reveal the physiological and physical liveliness of the user group. The study is also an evidence of similar types of urban fabric that behave differently due to various socio-economic and cultural backgrounds of the people, which influence the activity pattern of the soft edges of built form in the very same city.
