Urban poor, who are the predominant majority in the urban areas have low cost modes of transport like cycle and motorcycle for accessing their job places. Vehicular emissions are deemed to be responsible for causing environmental harm. The demand for personally owned vehicles gives rise to increased car ownership making the traffic on road more deteriorated causing problems like congestion.Item An Appraisal of Urban Policies and Practices in Pakistan:Proposed Guidelines to Ensure Sustainable and Inclusive Development.(CIVIL SERVICES ACADEMY, WALTON, LAHORE, 2024) Syndicate Advisor: Dr. Nasir Javed Research Coordinator: Dr. Yaamina Salman Faculty Member: Ms. Mahwaish Sami In-Charge Coordination Syndicate Activity: Syed Shabbir Akbar ZaidiPakistan, 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.

Such an argument appears to be contradicted by evidence of large slum populations in a large number of developing countries and particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like Asia. The evidence discussed suggests that city authorities faced with rapid urban development lack the capacity to cope with the diverse demands for infrastructural provision to meet economic and social needs. Not only are strategic planning and intervention major issues in agenda to manage rapid urbanization, but city governments are not effectively linking the economic development trajectory to implications for urban growth and, hence, housing needs. In the following discussion, a case study is presented in support of the argument that city governments have to first recognize and then act to establish the link that is crucial between economic development, urban growth, and housing. This is the agendum that has been largely neglected by city and national governments that have been narrowly focused on economic growth with the consequent proliferation of slum formation as a housing solution.Item Test(ABC, 2024) ABCItem Appraisal of Health Facilities in Pakistan: Challenges & Way-forward(CIVIL SERVICES ACADEMY, WALTON, LAHORE., 2024) Syndicate Advisor: Hassan Iqbal Research Coordinator: Dr. Fouzia Hadi Ali Faculty Member: Dr. Muhammad Afzal In-Charge Coordination Syndicate Activity: Syed Shabbir Akbar Zaidi Muhammad Usman Ashraf Chairperson Haider Gul Secretary Sidra Hussain Member Allahyar Khan Kalwar Member Abdul Rauf Member Labiqa Akram Member Sardar Sheharyar MemberItem EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSTITUTION OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF PAKISTAN IN ERADICATING CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT ORGANISATIONS(Civil Services Acadmey, Lahore, 2024) Faculty Advisor: Mr. Shahzad Iqbal Rana, AS –65 Farah Yamin Khan (Leader) AS –20:Imran Malik (Secretary) AS – 40:Sajeel Saeed AS – 90:Waseem Tariq AS –21 :Irshad Hussain AS –124:Haider Abbas AS –66 :Fida Hussain Solangi AS –180:Arifullah Awan AS –93:Nasir Mahmood AS – 116:Ammra Farooq AS – 109:Syeda Maria Zaidi AS –194:Marea Mustafa AS –228 :Capt.
