Urbanization and Infrastructure Development in Pakistan: Assessing the Challenges of Sustainable Growth
This research examines the infrastructure problems that urbanize fast in Pakistan with a special focus on Karachi Lahore and Islamabad. Cities in Pakistan are growing rapidly which creates enormous demand for basic services and runs ahead of building new infrastructure. Research shows urban planning problems and funding shortages result from poor governance to create proper infrastructure. The analysis shows that applying eco-friendly technology plus smarter urban design with transportation improvements offers proven ways to tackle these problems. Interviews and research results indicate that Pakistan's urban infrastructure problems make life harder for city residents. The research supports planning improvements and renewable energy support to create a more sustainable urban environment in Pakistan.
