Pakistan – Urban development most neglected sector

Urban development continues to be the most neglected sector in Karachi, the largest cities of Pakistan. Many cities in other parts of the world, even much smaller in size and population than Karachi, have already become ‘smart cities’; however, Karachi is still a big, haphazard center of stinky slums and poorly managed downtown localities. This city is also notorious for becoming a Chingchi City of world due to its pathetically poor urban public transport system. Even in the neighboring country of India there is a separate department named Ministry of Urban Development to take care of speedy urban uplift of Indian cities.
