Government of Sindh has started the preparation of Master Plan 2047 in view of the increasing population and problems of Karachi city. An 8-member committee was also formed for the preparation of the master plan.
A master plan prepares recommendations for future population-wise development of any city, taking into account the current land use. In this regard, an important meeting was also held under the chairmanship of the local government on Thursday.
Naeem Waheed, a senior officer of KDA and having vast experience of working with foreign institutions, has been appointed as the Project Director of the Master Plan Committee.
The duration of the master plan is determined from the date of establishment of Pakistan. The last master plan was approved in 2007 during the tenure of former city administrator Mustafa Kamal with a term of 2020, but the master plan has not been implemented quickly
