A mega plan to loot billions of borrowed USD and billions of rupee worth land.....

Dubai itself took more than 600 to 700 billion USD loan to build Dubai....Now tell me who will give this idiot that much of money to build another city.....?

How?

Lahore and surroundings have seen massive investments unlike anywhere else in Pakistan. This has been going on since the 1990s. Islamabad was also built in North Punjab.

If I have to answer how this is being perceived in the rest of the country, my words are not going to make a difference.

Good point but the rise of Dubai was due to oil and they leveraged that to create everything they have so they can continue to run now that it’s mostly gone

actually is abu dhabhi who have oil .

Cities like London Paris Dubai.
Economy like Europe and China
Law like Europe and america
Language from Wests, and now China.



Where are our own languages, our own system, our own culture our own education.
This is state of utter weakness.

Why Dubai Like, a fake plastic city, devoid of any sustainability and vernacular architecture.


Got to be Singapore like or Bonn Like, or Islamabad like without the government buildings.

actually is abu dhabhi who have oil .

“Dubai has approximately 4 billion barrels of oil in reserve and holds the second place in terms of oil reserves in the UAE. Dubai Petroleum Co (DPC) is the main operator in the emirate. Dubai’s oil production peaked in 1991 at 410,000 b/d and has been steadily declining ever since.

Dubai’s oil reserves have reduced over the past decade and are now expected to be exhausted within 20 years....”

It was dead until some time ago, the PM ordered its revival, look it up
but there's no doubt that infrastructure development was at its peak during PMLN

How many years do you think this city will take to be completed?

 

[KaiserX]

It is only natural for cities to grow outwards towards the suburbs???? Dont see what is new here lol

 

[LimaCharlie]

How many years do you think this city will take to be completed?

a long, long time
Let's hope we see it completed by 2030 without delays

If we aren't lazy we may see this in 5-7 years

No more spending money in or near Lahore. Enough is enough. As a Bangladeshi, I can tell you all this money being spent in Lahore will hurt your national integrity. This will fuel fire in Baluchistan. Try to have half a brain people, blindly making the same mistakes of the past is downright stupid.

balochistan leaders are roaming around in rolls royce. Maybe should’ve spent that money on their people instead of cars and building their own palaces.

we have lots of baloch, pashtuns here in Lahore we don't look them any differently nor treat them differently

Development of new city should be at least 100 KM away from Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Peshawar.
