Uttara ( _bn. উত্তরা) is a Thana& model town of ["Dhaka"] , the capital of "Bangladesh" & situated beside Turag river. The name derives from the Bengali word "uttor" meaning "north"). It lies on the road to Gazipur, and adjoins Zia International Airport.

Uttara is primarily a residential suburb, and is divided into several "sectors". The residents are generally from an (upper & highier-middle-class)or middle-class background, who favour its distance from the congestion and pollution of Dhaka city. Indeed, well into the 1990s, Uttara retained its quiet, leafy suburban character. In recent years, with the increasing influx of people moving in from the city, Uttara has evolved into a bustling town, similar to other areas of Dhaka such as Gulshan or Dhanmondi. The suburb is well-served by a proliferation of shopping complexes, shops, and schools & colleges.
