Islamabad (An Overview) Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan, is a fully planned city. Unlike any other city in the world, it has a unique system of wide roads, medians and verges. Its development has been well managed and not subject to the familiar encroachment so common in many other Asian cities. Islamabad is the tenth most populous city in Pakistan, currently has an estimated population of 1.8 Million and an estimated growth rate of 4 percent annually. As shown in the above Figure it‟s commercial centre is known as the „Blue Area‟, named as such from it being annotated „blue‟ on the city‟s original master plan. This area is considered to be the city‟s central business district (CBD). Comprising a 5-km long, east-west trending precinct along Jinnah Avenue, it contains many of Islamabad‟s corporate offices, banks, Government buildings and retail areas. Overall, the city‟s structure is well defined, comprising essentially a uniform land use within square shaped sectors. Each sector contains a Markaz, which is a local commercial precinct and shopping area that serves surrounding residential areas. Islamabad is considered to be one of Pakistan‟s most liveable cities; it has one of the nation‟s highest literacy rates and is home to several of its top-ranked universities as well as national and international corporations.
