About 30% of Dhaka's population lives in [[slum]]s (or unplanned urban settlements), as of 2016.<ref name=":1" /> Estimates from 2011 and 2015 found that there are about "3 to 5 thousand slums and squatter settlements scattered all over the city".<ref name=":1" /> It is often the new arrivals, people [[Rural-urban migration|migrating from rural areas]], who end up living in slums. People only have very limited access to water, [[sanitation]] and other services in those slum areas.

Slums may be found in the outskirts and in less-visible areas such as alleyways.<ref name="Gruebner Sachs Nockert Frings pp. 1–7">{{Cite journal |last1=Gruebner |first1=Oliver |last2=Sachs |first2=Jonathan |last3=Nockert |first3=Anika |last4=Frings |first4=Michael |last5=Khan |first5=Md.
