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.

Several measures, initiatives taken by the government of Punjab merit appreciation.

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.

With at least 35 per cent of its population in urban areas, Pakistan is the most urbanised country in South Asia.

With no discourse on water rights, water availability, water quality, private sector operators can run unregulated.

Mass transit systems are becoming increasingly viable for cities, sustainable transport is the new paradigm.

Environment requires greater political ownership, could be an excellent driver of inter-provincial coordination.

The interest in taking this issue up, enforcing the law and making a difference does not appear to exist.
