In cities like karachi, trees should be made a requirement. Trees is what helps rain and provide shed breaking the heat.

It is the story of poor countries. People hardly have funds to build houses so they are always short of budget for Garderns however you will find Gardens in abundance in affluent areas
People in Pakistan prefer joint family system so they try to add more n more rooms within the house so that their children don’t have a reason to look elsewhere
it is very costly to maintain garden in Pakistan as plants will grow and die and the water is scarce in a lot of areas where people do not have water to drink let alone to feed the plants on regular basis
So many times a father have 1 kanal of space and upon his death his 3x children will split the land between themselves and build 3x houses after his dead so garden is the last place in question if they don’t have too much money in the bank
this is a death trap, who allowed this to be built? the centre of gravity is at the top and any strong force on one side and the house could be smashing into his neighbour, surely even without an education, the home-owner can see it is all wrong and how did the builder go yeah put my name down for that manslaughter charge?I recalled having watched some cases of extreme planning and engineering

This is how most 1 kanal houses are in Lahore as shown in the video. I will soon start constructing my 1 kanal house as well Insah'Allah but I will be leaving some more space otherwise the house will become too big for three people.This is a good point.
I'm not sure if it's the case for the house i was looking at. They are on a youtube channel, new builds, very expensive with marble tiles and very decorative doors etc.
Like this for example.
Very expensive property, clearly not a poor mans game, huge plot, yet no garden.
For UK based people, a kanal of land is about the size of two semi-detatched houses, including their front drives and about 60-70% of their back gardens. So it's not a little bit of space we're talking about.
Our family home in Pakistan is also built in a similar inefficient way. All the rooms are HUGE. We are in a village though so land was cheap and money was coming in from the UK.
