KP to establish two modern mega cities

[F.O.X]

For that they rather need industrial estates.

you cant have industrial estates without a proper infrastructure .. and a Major city nearby for Support ..

It would require billions of dollars. Where would Imran Khan get such money.

Not necessarily. Ending encroachments and illegal constructions on infrastructure would not cost more than lakhs and yet would free infrastructure for marginal load.

Empty Talk .. they first need to Develop the cities available rather then to establish new ones .

IT is Like your own house is Broken & instead of fixing it you are planning to build a new one for your neighbor and that too on your own expense .

The existing cities have become too saturated for doing any mega projects. Did you not see what happened to Lahore? The rain have literally exposed them? The same would be the case with Peshawar too if PTI wants to do anything mega with the city... I wouldn't blame SS's Govt. for that but actually it's very hard to cope with these ancient cities. The only thing they can do is to relocate the population and then turn these cities upside down which is not possible.

We've vast majority land in KPK which I think is of no use (agricultural etc) and hence should be converted to mega cities. I've even started thinking about buying a plot for myself when it is up for sale.

We need outside help to build modern mega city it should be sustainable but population is growing so we need more new major cities in pakistan .I think it's time to start building upwards.Take example from singapore they got one of the tiniest pieces of land on earth yet amazing what they have turned it into it shows anything is possible with hard work-It would be amazing to see world class developed clean city like that one day in pakistan esp KP .

the dream for me one day is to have a pakistani city that looks like this.....

No point having these cities if the underlying issues plaguing us aren't dealt with, focus for now, on security, energy, education and healthcare, then maybe dream about megacities. I have my reasons do doubt this.

It seems a very good idea to establish a mega-city,but before this PTI must work on provision of basic necessities to citizens of KPK,an ease to their burden.

-Government schools must me made free of cost and yes,if they are then must me worked on it's improvement, updatation and quality.
-Must work against corruption;at least on basic police level
-Police training must be updated and improved,and provided with better equipment and training to fight crime.
-Check points of army must be installed with greater number.
-Must work on bachat bazar concept.
-Basic electricity problem etc

Then think of development of modern new cities.

KPK should focus rather on cheap projects in Agricultural sector. The people of KPK ( especially large pool of un employed educated people) should be provided with Tunnel farming and drip irrigation's technique and technology to produce vegetables and fruits. And the produce of such projects be ensured through local market with support price(in case) and export promotion, to GCC and other markets. KP has vast land too and is used for traditional crops with traditional techniques, resulting in low yield, low profitability and employment.
PTI's tall claims of expensive and impractical projects in current budget constraints have huge potential to fall flat.... ultimately will set her back for kick in next election throughout the country.

Why bother with the old when you can create something better and more efficient.

Sometimes it is easier to start fresh and build a new city, than trying to have to repair and modernize an old one. Problem with Peshawar from the beginning is it is an ancient city, so it wasn't properly organized to modern or even 20th century standards.So to rebuild and reconstruct Peshawar to modern standards would probably cost more than to build a new one. Besides, KP needs new cities badly, population growth and for economic reasons.

Gwadar has that potential more than any other Pakistani city. Give Gwadar proper management and governance and it can certainly develop. Currently new highway from Gwadar to Kashgar is being constructed which will boost trade ties between Gwadar and China and Central Asia, that spells major capital for the city. I really think Gwadar can be like Hong Kong if given proper care and management it has a geo-strategic location, state of the art port facility, natural resources all around, FDI investment, etc.

What about Improving and restructuring existing ones?

Is that common sense that I'm reading? Get out, I'll have none of it!

 

[Awesome]

Security, security, security.

 

[Menace2Society]

Security, security, security.

That would be the federal govt responsibility.

Didn't 3 terrorists walk free the other day.

Clearly not delivering on that front.
