Most of the developments in urban planning around the world are apparently lost in Pakistan.

Pakistan is no stranger to toxic colonialism. Customs must monitor hazardous materials entering Pakistan.
On environmental initiatives
Several measures, initiatives taken by the government of Punjab merit appreciation.
Preparing for World Environment Day
Implementing green economy could provide solutions to many of Pakistan’s environment, energy, water & waste problems.

The waste produced at the Glacier feeds the Nubra River, then flows into Shyok River and eventually joins the Indus.
Capturing our urban economic potential
With at least 35 per cent of its population in urban areas, Pakistan is the most urbanised country in South Asia.
The smart money on drinking water
With no discourse on water rights, water availability, water quality, private sector operators can run unregulated.
Ferozepur Road Bus Rapid Transit project
Mass transit systems are becoming increasingly viable for cities, sustainable transport is the new paradigm.
Environment and the 18th Amendment
Environment requires greater political ownership, could be an excellent driver of inter-provincial coordination.
