Pakistan: a Tale of Many Cities

Interactive Desk Published June 15, 2017

There's a story in every city, and a city hidden in every perspective. Be it a concrete jungle in Karachi or a crowded town resting on the foothold of the Karakoram mountains in Skardu, all cityscapes play a role in shaping our human experience.

Take a look at some of the many beautiful photos of various cityscapes submitted to us on #DWPcityscape as part our weekly project.
