That's because of the slums today Karchi has the highest slums in Asia thanks to Orangi, too many people littering which adds more pollution into the city, lack of landscaping which can add more beauty and green into the city, there are few roads that are modernized but not as innovative as the ones you see in other countries. Because the roads are very thick which is why there is too much traffic. If they can make the roads wider it would make it easier to drive. Dubai is just a desert I've been there it's actually different to the ones you see on t.v. when you look down you can see sand. Unlike Karachi people don't litter in Dubai and has a lot of landscaping which is why it looks clean and tidy if people in Karachi can stop throwing trash on the ground and landscape its city even more Karachi would be as green as Lahore. It's really pathetic why the government is not making littering illegal and putting trash cans in every corner. Karachiites are just messed up full of poor people no wonder why so many people in Karachi have buck teeth. Also too many graffiti esp on the freeway.

While cleanliness of people and poor waste management infrastructure of a city district maybe a factor, i think any place can also get sandy/dusty if it has no greenry. This is where Dubai has better standing over Karachi. Trees are the best solution. Not only they stop dust getting on roads, they also stop floods flowing through. Its an easy solution. Just follow the rules of nature and it makes a lot of difference.

Karachi:
G&T TOWER OFFICE BUILDING
Location: Beaumont road, in the vicinity of Governor house, PC and Sheraton hotels & PIDC and State Life building.
Area: 185000 square ft approximately
Height: 206’
Design concept
Human & beliefs
The clients have a modern approach towards business yet are practicing Muslims. NUHA believes that Architecture is human’s most spiritual embodiment, thus we came up with a very modern building with an element directing towards Qibla. The building elevation speaks for modesty of clean lines, honesty of materials with fidelity to the purpose. Thus making it a timeless, easy to maintain modern façade.
Space is the three-dimensional extension of the world around us, the intervals and relationships between people and people, people and things, and things and things. The design approaches to establish relations between people, things and spaces.
Salient Features:
• G&T tower runs on a CO-GENERATION system the heat produce by generators runs heat absorbent chiller.
• Atrium designed in a way to gain maximum North light.
• Reduction of heat gain is achieved by strategically placed big Concrete mass facade.
• Double glass (LUI) fixed glazing to gain maximum light in office thus minimum heat & radiation infiltration.
• Tilted west facade element is to catch the west wind inside thus 5 parking floors free from the stagnant carbon mono oxide danger.
