During these visits the mission met with many Government officials,elected repre- sentatives,businessmen and private individuals,with whom the main urban sector issues were discussed. The mission worked closely with the Regional Plan Organization(RPO), the staff of which acted as counterpartsand provided invaluableinformation and guidance to the mission members. The objective of this memorandumis to highlight the main issues and opportunitiesin the urban sector in Karachi and the rest of Sind and outline a program which would contributeto developmentin the sector. More detailed descriptionsand analysis of conditionsin the urban sector are available in the publicationsof the RPO and other agencies (see Annex 16 for list of publications). The memorandum is aimed at three distinct target groups and is structured accordingly: (a,) an Executive Summary for senior decision-makers; (b) a brief but comprehensivereport to inform administratorsand others in Pakistan and the World Bank of main issues (those who are familiar with Sind may wish to skip the background section); and (c) technicalannexes to provide more detailed analysis of certain subjects to techniciansin the Bank and in Pakistan. 1/ Consistingof Messrs. D. Graham, J. Courtney,C. Nenckhoff (Bank staff), C. Turner and Professor H. Richardson (consultants). - ii - SIND URBANSECTOR MEMORANDUM Executive Summary 1. Sind (population 19.0 million), the second largest province of Pakis- tan after the Punjab (population47.l million), is also the most urbanized with 43% of the population living in urban areas. This urban concentration is due to Karachi (population5.1 miLlion), 1/ Pakistan's largest city and only port. The rest of Sind is predominantlyrural with only 21% of the population living in urban areas. The urban population is growing at the rate of 4.4% per annum and about 60% of population growth over the next 20 years will be located in urban areas. The key urban sector issues in Sind center on: (a) the regional developmentbalance; (b) institutions,training and public awareness; (c) the pricing of public services, and urban finance; (d) land and infrastructuredevelopment; (e) water supply and sewerage; (f) urban transport. These issues are described in more detail below. Regional DevelopmentIssues (paras 2.01-2.18) 2. The contrasts between Karachi and the rest of Sind are marked and give rise to the issue of "duality,"which has important policy implications. On the one hand we see a rapidly expanding, relatively prosperous city serv- ing many national functions, while, on the other hand, there is a large, poor, backward, rural area of the rest of Sind, with very little linkage between the two economies. Provincial Government perceives this as a major issue and would like to channel some of Karachi's prosperity to the rest of Sind; it also wants to relieve some of the pressure exerted on Karachi's services by high populationgrowth. There are many constraintsto achieving this: (a) Commercial opportunitiesin Karachi provide higher rates of return on capital than elsewhere; (b) Land and infrastructureservices are underpricedin Karachi, attracting labor and capital and placing a burden of subsidies on the Provincial Government; 1/ 1981 Population Census figures. It is estimated that due to under- enumerationin the census and subsequentgrowth the population of Karachi would be approximately6 million in mid-1983. Throughout this report 1981 census figures are used for comparativepurposes. - iii - (c) Infrastructureand facilities in secondary
