[Dubious]

BY NEWS DESK , (LAST UPDATED 6 SECONDS AGO)

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday shared his vision for Pakistan’s urban centres and said the government would encourage vertical construction to increase green spaces and protect the country’s arable land.

“My vision for our future cities: to allow buildings to rise vertically and allow for more green spaces as Pak is one of the the most environmentally-threatened countries,” the premier said in a series of posts on Twitter.

“Avoiding large sprawling built-up areas will also allow easier provision of amenities to our urban dwellers.”

He elaborated further in a second tweet: “Our arable land is being eaten up by housing societies and has grave consequences for our food security in the future.”

“Also, we are in the process of making laws to allow buildings, built to international safety standards, to go as high as in other cities across the world.”

Earlier this month, PM Imran approved rules facilitating the construction of high-rise buildings in Islamabad.

With his decision, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) received an executive nod to formulate rules and regulations — apart from amending existing ones — for the construction of high-rises in the city and to re-designate existing buildings accordingly.

We can focus on agriculture after fixing other important issues. Agriculture is a huge part of our economy but education, poverty, health should come first.

Vertical Cities require a lot of resources. A better option will be to have less population growth, but family planning is a Jewish Conspiracy to control the Genetically bless Martial Race of Pakistanis by the Western World who work for the Alien race of lizards sent by the Jinn from Shaytan's lair on a planet million lightyears away....

Imran Khan has proven to speak from his heart over his time period so far, his start might have been rusty but so far he has shown what no other leader could show us; that he is a human just like us, and its that perception which makes him so trustworthy and good willed.

The solution is education, Pakistan needs a proper integrated education system, fully recorded and accounted for, in place.

I hope we can but atm and looking at the economy it seems unlikely. I do hope we can progress and achieve the goals but I am just being realistic. If IK and the GoP can actually work on these things while boosting the economy then I have no problem. I personally want to see a strong and successful Pakistan and I hope it happens in the next decade.

Exactly what I've been saying for years...build towards sky and underground not horizontal occupying vast amount of land space. For a densely populated Pakistan, it is a requirement. All business buildings should be build upwards with parking spaces in the underground basements. Entire public transportation should be underground.

Entire public transportation should be underground.

Money money ...

Clean first. Just pour $10 million into a clean fund and just do something about the waste. Then move on to disease prevention.

 

[Kambojaric]

Good. All of these new housing schemes are taking over precious agricultural land. Build high rises instead, especially in the larger cities like Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad etc.
