Cartographer and graphic designer Mohsin Fancy dedicated his entire undergraduate thesis project at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS) to his love for Karachi and its residents, propelling him to create a map system for the mega-city.

Fancy created a comprehensive mapping system comparable to that of any cosmopolitan city of the world. “It’s such a pity, Karachi being a vast, metropolitan city, cannot thoroughly be explored by its residents.”

Watch the video to see how Fancy went about creating 'In and Around Karachi' and to learn more about Mohsin and his map pick up the June issue of the Herald on stands now. - Video by Dawn.com
