Lahore is not that good.
In 15 years Dhaka will easily look better than Lahore now.
Lahore has been hailed as the most beautiful city in South Asia by Alot of people due its wonderful architecture , History and its recent development is just icing on the cake .
Have a look at its Road Network
. I don't think Dhaka can get Roads like this in 15 -20 years time . Notice the green open spaces , Road Network and nice Subarban houses .It looks pleasing to eye compared to cramped Units in Dhaka .

Can Dhaka Provide its Middle Class People with such world class living conditions ? A house in Bahria town is well within the reach of a middle class in Pakistan (The Karachi one is even better )
If Dhaka can be like this in 10-15 Years time it will be some achievement . Your urban areas are just too cramped to look appealing .
