City Report ------------ ISLAMABAD C1TY Population and Housing Census 1998 :J 00er $ $ I Government of Pakistan Statisti-cs Division Population Census Organization www .census.gov .pk iii PREFACE The process of urbanization and continuous expansion of cities in tenns of population size has resulted in ever increasing civic problem~. This, naturally, necessitates the availability of data pertaining to urban centers 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 data does not replace the demand for exclusive tabulation of data for urban centres, specially the big c:ties. Therefore, it seemed appropriata to publish separate City Reports initially for big cities, having population of 3 lacs and above. The city report consists of five parts viz (I) write up which carries general description of the city, (II) Broad analysis of population data, (Ill) Broad analysis of housing data, (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 usefully.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Islamabad, literally meaning "the abode of Islam" is the capital of Pakistan. True to the meaning of its name, it embodies the Islamic values and the aspirations of the Mulsims of South Asia which culminated in the establishment of Pakistan in 1947. Its freshness and beauty symbolize the hopes and aspirations of the people of Pakistan to revive in a modern context the glory and grandeur of the Muslim rule in South Asia. Pakistan, the dreamland of the Mulsims of pre-independence India, emerged on the map of the world on 14th August, 1947. Karachi, the capital of Sindh Province with a modern sea port, international airport and a good road and railways network, was a natural and obvious choice to serve as the seat of government for the newly independent country. Even in the early days of independence it was felt that a new and permanent capital city had to be built to reflect the cultures, traditions, hopes, aspirations and dreams of all the diverse ethnic, linguistic and region31 groups that constituted the Pakistan nation. It was considered prudent and in the national interest to locate the Federal Capital where it could be insulated from the onslaught of business and commercial interests and yet be easily accessible from even the remotest corners of the county. In view of the Islamic ideology of the country the Federal Capital had to be located closer to the Muslim areas of Central Asia and in close proximity of the fraternal people of Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. A capital city is more than a place to live and work in. It is a symbol of its aspirations like the flag of a country.

  • Towards an Inclusive Public Transport System in Pakistan1

    Towards an Inclusive Public Transport System in Pakistan1

    TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN1 Muhammad Adeel, Anthony G.O Yeh and Zhang Feng2 Abstract Urban transport in Pakistan is characterized by the coexistence of formal and informal transit services. While urban transport is deregulated and - somehow – multimodal in the country, the transport service providers often compete with each other within their particular constrains and their equilibrium defines the overall landscape of urban accessibility. With examples from the cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the paper discusses three broad constraints on the urban modes of transportation, namely regulatory, spatial and demand related constraints, using a number of important system characteristics. Results show that the overall level of constraints remains ‘Very High’ on the newly constructed BRT, followed by ‘High’ constraints on the informal paratransit mode, ‘Qinqui’. Whereas the Suzuki and Wagon modes coverage remains maximum and they carry relatively lower level of constraints. In this context, an inclusive urban mobility largely depends on a proactive approach by management authorities to minimize these constraints through a number of initiatives including integration of modes, improvements of the quality of service and condition of vehicle, and by facilitating the mobility of women and non-motorized travellers. Keywords: Transport, accessibility, Pakistan, BRT, Qingqi 1. BACKGROUND Population explosion and rapid urbanization in Asian countries have brought complex mobility challenges for a vast majority of their people who also face issues of poverty, inequality and limited access to basic services (Gakenheimer, 1999). While the average distances between activities are increasing with time, so are the issues of mobility and accessibility. Lack of access to public transport, poor quality of transportation infrastructure, rising levels of personal automobile ownership and a persistent disregard of traffic regulations pose further issues to the already challenging mobility environment (Dimitriou and Gakenheimer, 2011).

They are among the poorest of the poor.According to the World Bank estimates, one in five of the world's poorest people are disabled, and many of them live in low and middle- income groups. Due to the lack of opportunities, many of them are forced to remain confined to their houses. On the other hand, due to inadequate awareness in societies, persons with disabilities are not accepted as a useful human resource in economic development. There is a dire need for putting in place an information bridge administered by persons with disabilities themselves, because they are the best advocate of their issues.After the disastrous earthquake of October 8th, 2005 the population of disabled persons has increased manifold in the country. These issues must be addressed at all levels. For this purpose STEP has initiated the First Information and Resource Centre on Disability with the goal of Empowerment and Capacity Building of Persons with Disabilities.

    Transport and Women's Social Exclusion in Urban Areas in Pakistan

    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Transport and Women’s Social Exclusion in Urban Areas in Pakistan A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Development Studies at Massey University, Manawatu. New Zealand Waheed Ahmed 2018 i Abstract This thesis explores women’s everyday experiences of transport-related social exclusion, factors responsible for this, and how women negotiate restrictions on their mobility in urban areas of Pakistan. Although there is an emerging realization in the transport literature about the importance of studying social exclusion and marginaliation, little research has been carried out focusing on women’s social exclusion in transport, especially with regards to urban areas in developing countries. The present study fills this research gap by analysing the case studies of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, in Pakistan. These cities have been selected to explore how the highly contrasted urban form of planned and unplanned cities, as well as socio-cultural norms and institutional arrangements, impacts on women’s mobility and transport choices. The theoretical framework combines rights-based and empowerment approaches to identify constraints and opportunities for change to women’s mobility. The right-based and empowerment approaches have been selected over other theoretical lenses because they see women as active agents of change rather than portraying them as passive victims. In doing so, the emphasis is placed on rights, accountabilities, and structural injustices in society, which are imperative to study women’s transport issue in developing country contexts.

    Things to Do in Islamabad, page 1 of 2 Things to Do in Islamabad Islamabad is a charming city where lush green hill backdrops and mild warm weather set it apart from other big cities in the region. It is a city, not for the night owls and party animals, but for the aesthetically inclined and to those drawn to the glory of nature. Islamabad’s relative infancy as a major metropolis is reflected in the city’s architecture, which is modern – the influence of its first urban planner Constantinos A. Doxiadis is pretty evident – yet distinctly Islamic in appearance. Faisal Mosque E-7, Islamabad, ICT, Pakistan The Faisal Mosque (also known as Shah Faisal Masjid) is the largest mosque in Pakistan, located in the national capital city of Islamabad. Completed in 1986, it was designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay to be shaped like a desert Bedouin’s tent. It functions as the national mosque of Pakistan. Height: 295' (90 m) Architect: Vedat Dalokay Margalla Hills The Margalla Hills—also called Margalla Mountain Range are also a part of lesser Himalayas located north of Islamabad. Margalla Range has an area of 12,605 hectares.The hills are a part of Murree hills. It is a range with many valleys as well as high mountains. The hill range nestles between an elevation of 685 meters at the western end and 1,604 meters on its east with average height of 1000 meters. Its highest peak is Tilla Charouni.The range gets snowfall in winters. Instituted in 1980, the Margalla Hills National Park comprises the Margalla Range (12605 hectares) the Rawal Lake, and Shakarparian Sports and Cultural complex.
