City Report KARACHI CITY Population and Housing Census 1998 Government of Pakistan Statistics Division Population Census Organization www.census.gov .pk PREFACE The process of urbanization and continuous expansion of the cities m term of population size have resulted in ever increasing civic problems. This, naturally, necessitates the availability of data pertaining to urban centres for planned development of the area and to solve other relevant issues. Although. the regular census publications of 1998 Census i.e., District/ Provincial and National Reports carry· data by rural/ urban areas in all the tables while two tables pertain to urban localities in the district/ province but that does not replace the demand for exclusive tabulation of data for urban centres, especially the big cities. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to publish separate City Reports, initially for big cities, having population of 3 lac and above. The City Report consists of five parts vtz (I) Write up which carries general description of the city, (II) Broad analysis of population data, (Ill) Broad analysis of housing data, Part-IV comprises statistical tables while part-V provides additional information in the form of annexures. I hope this report will be a valuable addition to the stock of census publications and will serve its purpose.
