Infrastructure Development in Pakistan

so you mean punjabis work hard, balochis dont???, and thats why balochistan is so backward?

What a dumb question.

Balochistan is run by landlords. It cannot be compared with Punjab. Nobody said anything about it being 'backward'. There are basic problems there, such as 'equality rights' that can only be solved by local natives. If Punjabis take part to help them, then they (Balochi leaders) will ask for independence.

Security, education, and people's mentality is the problem. When was the last time a foreigner was kidnapped in Punjab or when was the last time someone was killed in Punjab because of his ethnic group or political party affiliation?

I being a Muslim Pakistani would not feel safe travelling to Balochistan. How can any foreign businessman invest in that crazy chaotic unsafe province?

I think Karachi needs to plant lots of trees. Even desert countries like Saudi Arabia has become greener.

here is the answer to your own question

In your previous posts you were saying that Karachi produces 70% of Pakistan's revenues.
LOL can you people not spend pennies to grow trees and grass?

Hmmn...! These are not the kind of developments that fill me with much confidence ! When the 'real-estate' bubble burst in Dubai they actually needed Abu Dhabi to bail them out...! This isn't sustainable development....I was hoping to see some (if not primarily) industrialization !

Revenue collection does not mean Karachi or Sindh gets to spend that money.

The sum assigned to the Provincial Governments under Article 3 shall be
distributed amongst the Provinces on the basis of the percentage specified against each:-

(a) Balochistan - 9.09%
(b) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa - 14.62%
(c) Punjab - 51.74%
(d) Sindh - 24.55%

Real estate is part of the infrastructure needed to support industrialization. Construction creates jobs and stimulates the economy which supports consumption & demand for products that industrialists then invest to produce.

The case of Abu Dhabi doesn't apply to Pakistan because Pakistan has a large local population that can easily absorb new commercial buildings & housing with high occupancy rates.
