Pakistan is a country with a lot of potential. It’s one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world, and it has a rich culture that is just waiting to be explored. But there are a lot of challenges that need to be addressed before Pakistan can reach its full potential. One of the biggest issues is in infrastructure—a lack of roads, hospitals, and other essential facilities. In order to address these problems, the government has formulated the eighteen Islamabad Master Plan, which is divided into eighteen phases. The first phase, which started in March 2016, focuses on developing infrastructure in smaller towns and cities. This includes building new roads, universities, and hospitals. If you’re interested in helping contribute to this ambitious project, read on for more information on how you can get involved.

The Master Plan and its Components

The Islamabad Master Plan is a comprehensive city development plan that was developed in 2002. The eighteen components of the plan include land use, transportation, infrastructure, environment and community development.

The Master Plan has four main objectives: 1) To improve quality of life for citizens; 2) To promote economic growth; 3) To improve public safety and security; and 4) To preserve and enhance the environment.

Land Use: The Master Plan calls for the expansion of commercial, industrial and residential areas throughout the city. It also calls for the gradual redevelopment of rural areas into urban settlements.

Transportation: The Master Plan aims to improve transportation throughout the city by constructing new roads, railways and airports. it also seeks to establish a mass transit system that can accommodate an increase in population density.

Infrastructure: The Master Plan includes plans to build new schools, hospitals and other facilities. it also seeks to upgrade existing infrastructure such as water supply systems, electrical grids and telephone networks.

Environment: The Master Plan recognizes the need to protect the environment while still promoting economic growth. It calls for implementation of green buildings standards, reduction of energy consumption and waste management initiatives.

Implementation of the Master Plan

The implementation of the Islamabad Master Plan (IMP) is a mammoth task that requires coordination between various ministries and agencies, as well as with local authorities. The IMP has been divided into three phases: preparatory, operational, and final. In the preparatory phase, which began in 2006, various stakeholders were involved in consultations to identify potential areas for development. The operational phase began in 2009 and covers the implementation of specific projects identified in the IMP. The final phase will focus on improving governance and institutionalizing improvements made during the operational phase.

So far, progress has been slow due to a lack of resources and a lack of consensus among stakeholders about which projects should be prioritized. One major challenge has been overcoming resistance from vested interests who fear losing their power or privileges. Another challenge has been getting locals involved in planning and implementing projects; many communities are not aware of their rights or benefits from development.

Despite these challenges, some important accomplishments have been made so far: Approximately 9% of the total population lives in urban areas, up from 3% prior to the IMP; more than 1 million people have access to improved water supplies; more than 5 million people are now able to get electricity; more than 170 kilometers of roads have been built; and 1,000 schools have been constructed or upgraded.

Conclusion

The Islamabad Master Plan, which was finalized in October of 2016, is a comprehensive blueprint for the development of Islamabad over the next fifteen years. The plan encompasses everything from housing and infrastructure to education and health care. The goal of the Islamabad Master Plan is to make Islamabad a world-class city that can compete with global metropolises like Tokyo, London, and Paris. Although there are still some hurdles to be overcome, such as increasing employment opportunities and reducing crime rates, progress has been made since the plan was first put into action. In order to continue this momentum and ensure that all citizens have access to quality education and healthcare, it will be important for continued funding support from both the government and private sector partners.
