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.

Brief Note on Poverty Reduction and Future Challenges in Pakistan
(Civil Services Academy,walton Lahore, 2024) Civil Services Academy,walton Lahore
Poverty, defined as the inability to attain bare minimal living standards, is a multidimensional phenomenon as reflected in the form of low income, lack of access to resources, few opportunities for participation in the economic activities or political process, high vulnerability to risks and shocks, etc. Therefore, tackling poverty requires a holistic approach that promotes such economic growth, which creates opportunities for the poor, preparing them to be able to participate in the economic growth process, providing them the access to essential services such as education, health, clean drinking water and proper sanitation, etc. Maintaining macroeconomic stability, improving governance, consolidating devolution to the grass-roots level and protecting vulnerable segments of the society are the essential elements of any poverty alleviation programme.

Police reforms have been on the agenda of the government for decades but progress has been slow. This paper focuses exclusively on the case- study of Punjab Police reforms. It reviews the historical background of policing in Pakistan, the proposed reform agendas which remained unimplemented and the way forward for the reform implementation in the Punjab Police. Historically speaking, Pakistan inherited the colonial Police Act 1861, which had less to do with policing and more to do with controlling the locals than to do with service – delivery.
