LAHORE: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government has decided to develop a “modern city like Dubai” city near Lahore over an area of more than one 100,000 acres.

According to a statement, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has given the green signal to establish “River Ravi Front Authority” for developing a “most modern city” in the north of Lahore.

The provincial government will promulgate an ordinance for the establishment of this authority with the chief minister as its chairman, read the statement.

The authority would work to develop the new city over an area of more than one 100,000 acres. It is expected that Rs5 trillion would be invested by the private sector to develop the city.

The new city will help to overcome the problems of congested traffic, water and environment in Lahore city.

A large lake and free barrages will also be built in the new city.

Jahan houses ki demand hogi supply bhi wahin hogi. How many houses can be built on 1 lakh acre?

1 acre land if irrigated will feed more humans than the ones living and breathing asbestos.

Only beneficial owner of this scam are cancer hospitals.

OH comeon, I'm really excited for a sparkling river to run through my city, forget europe, this is the next big thing

 

[El Sidd]

People would built these houses.

Slaves of friends of Niazi not people.

People have rights and a voice.

Slaves don't

Good decision. Would be great to have some urban development from the ground level.

If population shifts to the new city. Lahore's basic infrastructure can be repaired and rebuilt.

People would built these houses. Imran Khan na in main nhi rehna

Pakistan need export oriented industries, and govt focus should be necessary developments such as cheap energy, cheap public transport etc not these real estate ghost t houses. Loan repayment is another area asking for attention. Many areas even almost entire Karachi have no water. These are the areas where money should go.

They have been allotted their amount of money from the budget, the only difference is who spends it wisely and who doesn't and eats it all up

How far is this smart city from Lahore?

and

Are you a mason?

close, very close

 

[El Sidd]

Kahin to in logon na rehna

ek ke opar ek reh reh kar mashra tabah hogaya hai.

physical distancing honi chaiye between big cities

 

[Crystal-Clear]

Why not just upgrade an existing city? Maybe even a small city?

A new city won’t have the oil wealth that Dubai does but you can use that money to upgrade the municipal services of an existing city which is the one thing that stands out about Dubai that’s also achievable

If their issue is traffic then sadly Dubai has that too and it has huge public transport project going on

dubai dont have oil money but dubai port
and businesses.
while this city near lahore will lack both .

 

[American Pakistani]

Kahin to in logon na rehna wahan bhi zameen par hi rehna yeh planned city hogi. Waisay agar agricultral land bachani ha to Punjab k center main nai City banayain Mankera ya Khushab main

This is not the responsibility of Punjab government. Yeh City river k kinaray par banay gi

Many areas in Punjab also don't have water. Many crop yields are very low due to lack of water and here people want govt to spend money on useless crap. Where will they get money to maintain it, and it is closer to Lahore which means easy target for bhartis.

Coastal cities,we need more coastal cities.

There is no land left in Lahore district to make a mini city there. Only option is to convert Ravi river into canal and use its land like what they did in London area of Canary Wharf.
