Abstract

Pakistan, with an urban population of 36.4 % according to 2017 census, has the fastest urban population growth in South Asia which should lead Pakistan towards long term economic growth. However, the dearth of sustainable and inclusive urban policies, which would cater for the needs of different segments of society, and inadequate implementation of available policies has hindered Pakistan from accruing the true benefits of this rapid urbanization. The cities in Pakistan are facing multipronged issues which includes, inter alia, housing, air quality ,solid waste management, land use management etc. resulting into failures to achieve desired economic stability in the longer run. This paper examines the current situation of urban policies and practices in the federal and 4 provincial capitals, with an aim to bridge the gaps by recommending some practical policy measures to unleash the true potential of the cities which can lead Pakistan towards long term economic growth.
