| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | The urban scape of Faisalabad is shaped by factors that have affected the urban story of Pakistan in<br/>general, and that of the city in particular. At the national level, these include the development of the<br/>irrigation system in the late nineteenth century, followed by partition of India and the mass migration<br/>of over a million people into the new country, industrialization in the 1960s, Indo-Pak and Afghan wars,<br/>massive natural disasters (floods and earthquakes) and the war on terrorism in Afghanistan; each of<br/>these events coupled with the natural increase in population and rural to urban migration have led to<br/>irreversible migration of people into the cities of Pakistan. Against this background, Faisalabad’s centrality in location and nearness to various transport nodes have given rise to several unprecedented<br/>challenges not only in the form of unplanned sprawl but also in the form of shortage of water, housing<br/>and sanitation facilities.<br/>This profile examines the unique challenges and opportunities that are city specific as well as those<br/>that afflict other similar cities in Pakistan or any city in the developing world. This discussion is expected<br/>to help draw lessons and provide solutions to manage cities. The profile also examines the city’s unique<br/>features and comparative advantages, to assess its potential for future growth, so that Faisalabad is<br/>equipped to compete with other large cities in Pakistan and also within the region. |
