An Expansion of Real Estate Business: A Review on Smart City in Bangladesh

Mohammad Arifuzzaman, M. Mizanur Rahman, Ishtiak Al Mamoon

Abstract


This discussion paper aims to speak both about what the public discourse is with regard to the real estate sector of Bangladesh, and what it could be, that is, highlight issues that are distal enough to escape sufficient attention. These issues might even appear disjoint. Systemic or systems thinking is invoked since dynamic complexity is everyday reality and is best equipped to inform discourses in order to bring about change of norms across all stakeholders participating in the sector. Leadership is not a leader-follower dichotomy, all stakeholders must strive to know when to lead, and it invariably is about adapting to situations that are not necessarily static. The real estate sector of Bangladesh requires robust leadership that can invoke the relevance of complexity thinking and interdisciplinarity in adapting to challenges of today and tomorrow.
