Lahore in the Elite League.

[Awesome]

Lahore, Lahore ay!

Btw, I agree about Bahria town. I remember when it recently opened, one of those Safari villas was going at about 4,000,000 rps. Then it tripled. within a year during Pakistan's economic boom. I wonder what its at now, now that the real estate market's crashed.

You'd be such a target driving the rolls in Pakistan. I bought a civic a few years ago, and man I was treated like a rich boy . The best part was, I'd be driving around and the police constables would simply salute me.

Gotta love the way some Defence folks proudly proclaim "I live in Defenas"

Nationalist, you got it all wrong.

There really are no numbers to indicate something like that but if I had to take an estimate from what i've seen i'd say,

Using the population ratio 1,140,000,000 India and 180 million in Pakistan...

Pakistan would have better standards of living for the average person in the form of sanitation, and wealthy people would be more abundant and easier to find. However a rich person in India would be richer than a wealthy person in Pakistan even though they are harder to find in India.

India, having a large amount of low and middle class workers would have a hard time dealing with the pollution and sanitary issues of the cramped society.
An Indian civilian would have to take a magnifying glass to look through a billion dots representing low class, middle class, and high class people to find a high class person on a map of India.

I hope that cleared it up, i think it was a pretty good explanation. i did my best lol

 

[Awesome]

Can you guys leave India off a thread about Lahore?

With rapid urbanization in Pakistan, Karachi has become the world's biggest city with a metro area population of 18 million people, according to Citymayors stats published recently.

Karachi is followed by Mumbai, Delhi, Buenos Aires, Seoul, Jakarta, Manila, Sao Paulo, Shanghai and Istanbul making up the top 10 list. Bangladesh capital Dhaka is at number 12, barely missing a top 10 slot. Of these, Mumbai, Dhaka and Delhi also have the dubious distinction of making Mercer's list of world's dirtiest cities. In another survey, Mercer has ranked Karachi as the fourth cheapest city for expatriates.

The list of the world’s largest cities, by land area, is headed by New York Metro, with a total area of 8,700 square kilometers. Tokyo/Yokohama is in second place with almost 7,000 square kilometers, followed by ten cities from the United States. Mumbai (Bombay), with a population density of almost 30,000 people per square kilometer, is the world’s most crowded city. Kolkata (Calcutta), Karachi and Lagos follow behind.

As the nation continues to experience increasing rural-to-urban migration, the jobs of the big city mayors in Pakistan, particularly Karachi and Lahore, are becoming significantly more important and challenging than generally recognized. How these mayors deal with these challenges will largely determine the fate of the nation, in terms of education, health care, housing, transportation, industrial and service sectors' growth, job growth and overall economic activities, as well as the future of democracy.

Dude hes right your standard of middle class is different then our what we see in indian movies that you call middle class is poor or lower class for us.
For example a guy living in shanty chall or what ever you call them is considered poor in our country while in india you consider them middle class.
And sir yes people are poor in Pakistan but even the most poor own a house unlike in india where poor people live in streets and station.In Pakistan those you find homeless are mostly addicts.
Your standard of middleclass is considered POOR CLASS IN PAKISTAN.
Here a man who owns a suzuki or a xli toyota is considered a middleclass.And a guy who earns 5000 to 7000 with no other income support is considered poor.

my household income is 70000 INR monthly and we belong to a middle class family, U cant comment on some place u have never visited and i am saying that from deepest respect mate


Yes and the people that u mentioned who lived in the chawls are the people who barely save anything and lastly the people who are homeless are considered to be poor.if u have a logical approach this situation can never prevail "in Pakistan people are rich and govt. is bank rupted in india it is opposite"

If ur govt is bankrupt how will it invest in infrastructure and development

Dont excite yourself by watching a bollywood movie mate

 

[pak-yes]

Rightly said in Pakistan ppl are rich and govt is poor.

very unfortunate.
