Sobre IBD

This book explores the urban landscape and expansion of Karachi, Pakistan’s largest metropolitan hub-a city that embodies resilience even in adversity. It vividly illustrates the role of thriving cities in developing countries and their impact on economic well-being. As Pakistan’s commercial and financial center, Karachi holds immense promise due to its strategic location and seaport. However, rapid, unplanned urbanization and a crumbling infrastructure have led to gentrification and deepening urban divides. This work serves as a crucial guide for urban planners, offering insights into sustainable policies to safeguard the city’s future and improve the lives of Karachi’s residents.
