Bahria Town Karachi street view...a mini Dubai in the making?

[Chakar The Great]

This thread has turned in to " exposing myth of indian superiority " . The more indians brag the more they get exposed. Now they are bringing irrelevant things into this thread.

Dubai is not a housing complex. Or a township.

Dubai is an economic hub with billion dollars business and the infras are out of necessity.

Okay but why are sky-scrapers necessary ?? Can't the job be done without them ??

In Dubai they are. There is limited space. The first company I worked for, shared the building with numerous other companies including a construction company, export business, a real estate firm, and some IT companies. All in the same tower.

I am sure that sky-scrapers like the Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab are just vanity projects than something actually meaningful.

Also, if you think about it ( you having lived there ), perhaps the "limited space" you speak of, is artificially created and there could have been horizontal expansion into the desert ( maybe even that isn't necessary and there could have been townships like Bahria ). But the planners of Dubai were perhaps more in love with the American city-scapes of tall towers.

Sign of times, the sign of end of times(end of days)....they the Bedouins will compete with each others in making the tallest, the grandest, the biggest of towers and indulge in extravagance...according to a Hadith.

Indeed, but I still prefer the way Dubai is and not a Horizontal expansion into the desert. Dubai is rich because of the way it is. I don't think it will be successful if it expands into the desert and covers the whole land. Because it needs the whole desert to accommodate.

As for Burj Khalifa, take it this way. It has given a lot of Jobs for South and East Asians.

I would agree when everyone follows it. Lead a simple life, give zakat, else we will keep pointing fingers at each other. What keeps them up is not the oil wealth but good business mentality.

Motorway is not a term to be used on purpose, it is generic and standardized, motorways and expressways are different, just as highways have different set standards. Pakistan also have expressways with different lesser standards.

"Motorways of Pakistan are a network of multiple-lane, high-speed, controlled-access highways in Pakistan, which are owned, maintained and operated federally by Pakistan's National Highway Authority". Other facilities are also required to put it in the category of Motorways.

Expressways have less control and restrictions, like a bike or a smaller CC vehicle can be allowed in an expressway but not on a motorway. It is not that Motorways are called Expressways in India.



Pakistan 2017 figure is actually 7 million NGV's.

We don't use motor ways.. i am talking about 4,6,8 line express highways, national high ways.. nope Pakistan is close to 3 million not 7 million..

It looks high quality planning to me. Having lived in such townships, the best part is the quality of people you get to meet.
The best townships are almost always built by corrupt people, because corruption is rife in the subcontinent. Realtors use their connections mainly for easy permits.
They are the guys who make sure the middle class gets to have a high living standard.

@Karna_007 Can you go and do something useful like teach your billion swamp Ganga's the basics of sanitation instead of crapping on this thread. Do encourage your fellow Gangadeshi's that shatting in the streets is not cool. That way the bloody smell emanating from the giant open air latrine you call India might subside. Thanks ....

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Where pakistan stand in coal production,steel production,cement production and these are backbone for any country?

Listen, Mr open crapping champion. India is nearly seven times larger then Pakistan. The mere fact that you insist on measuring your puny penis against Pakistan is itself exposure of your insecurity. You are nearly 1/5 of earth for gawds sakes. Compare yourself with China and see where you stand. You people are uncivilized, aboriginals issue of the filthy Ganga. You will never get anywhere because the fact is asides from a thin tiny fraction of Brahmins, Parsee and others whose ancestry is from our part of the world the rest are savage aboriginals lacking culture and civilization. Take away few of the Parsee Tatas etc you are nothing but another variation of Sub Saharan Africans who until recently went around naked.

I only see signs of jealousy.
Bedouins are doing fine, and you tribe better learn to live with this sorrow.
