THE Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) has revealed a very distrubing fact: Karachi is the worst city to live in. The city has been placed at position 134 among the group of 140 cities. This is on account of poor infrastructure, healthcare and education.
Karachi, once known as the City of Lights, is in a deplorable condition, and the city’s role for a prosperous Pakistan remains neglected. The government should initiate plans to developing the city.

City planners in Pakistan and Karachi need to study the history of Paris. The city of Paris was completely rebuilt from 1853 to 1868. New roads were built wherever planners wanted to put them to solve congestion problems. Water carrying aquaducts brought fresh water to Paris and new sewer mains were constructed. Six suburbs were incorporated into the city limits and the land size of Paris was doubled. Paris had become a slum in 1853, and Napoleon III wanted it fixed.
