Lahore Should Be Developed Like Delhi: Pak Minister

[Hasnain2009]

If contribution of Lahore is still 13.2% then it means 27.8 billion dollar GDP nominal.

2527 USD GDP per capita.

13.2% is for GDP per capita at PPP and not nominal terms, we were talking about nominal terms.

Read this:

"As of 2008, the city's gross domestic product (GDP) by purchasing power parity (PPP) was estimated at $40 billion with a projected average growth rate of 5.6 percent.[2] This is at par with Pakistan's other economic hub, Karachi, with Lahore (having half the population) fostering an economy that is 51% of the size of Karachi's ($78 billion in 2008).[2] The contribution of Lahore to the national economy is supposed to be around 13.2%"

Along with lahore's 13%, they also mentioned karachi's gdp = $78bn for year 2008, while pakistan's gdp for year 2008 was $166bn at nominal. Does that means karachi is generating half the gdp of pakistan? No its not....the gdp of the cities mentioned here are mentioned in PPP terms and not nominal.

Tu nominal ki report hai tumharay pass?

 

[Hasnain2009]

Tu nominal ki report hai tumharay pass?

Tumne khud to post ki thi, it was $13bn in 2010.

 

[Don Jaguar]

Tumne khud to post ki thi, it was $13bn in 2010.

Latest kah raha tha mein.

 

[Hasnain2009]

Latest kah raha tha mein.

I calculated it for you.

I don't think there is a much difference between the per capita income of lahore and karachi. The GDP of lahore was $13bn in 2010, even if we calculate the GDP change for last 2year considering the gdp growth of pakistan, which was around 3%, but still i am taking average 4% increase for two year, then lahore's gdp should be around $14.06bn for 2012.

Even if the population of lahore is 8million then:

$14.06bn/8mn = $1757

Tell me if you got the source for the latest.

Only thing Delhi trumps Lahore over is their metro

Delhi Airport is the best in the WORLD.
So on two important counts Lahore is down versus delhi.
Delhi airport ranked second best in the world

Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore, is ranked among the world's leading airports in service performance, a latest survey by Singapore Airlines revealed.

Allama Iqbal International Airport, Lahore, is ranked among the world's leading airports in service performance, a latest survey by Singapore Airlines revealed.

The intensive Service Performance Survey (SPS) was conducted recently by Singapore Airlines to assess the quality of service standards being maintained by the airports within the region.

The survey entailed a stringent evaluation of airports on the basis of lounge facilities offered in terms of general airport condition, ambience, and comfort of lounge as well as overall efficiency of the airports' lounge staff with respect to their level of friendliness and assistance extended to all travellers and visitors of the airports.

Airports were assessed and evaluated by Singapore Airlines for the Service Performance Survey (SPS) included 18 leading airports from all across the world including UAE's Abu Dhabi Airport, Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Airport, United Kingdom's Campbell Town Airport, Pakistan's Allama Iqbal International and Jinnah International Airports, India's Bombay, Calcutta, Chennai and Delhi airports, Sri Lanka's Colombo Airport, South Africa's Cape Town and Johannesburg Airports alongwith Bangladesh's Dhaka Airport and the Malee Airport.

Following a rigorous scrutiny and evaluation of these airports by the representatives from the Singapore Airlines, Pakistan's Allama Iqbal International Airport, and the Lahore airport secured the first position with a score ranging from 87 percent to 100 percent in the different fields outlined by the airline as part of the survey criteria. "In an age where knowledge, innovation and advancements have paved the way for unprecedented growth and opportunities, adaptation to change was a critical element that would help us keep pace with the changing dynamics of airport management," said CAA director general.

We recognize the need to ensure effective and an efficient management of our airports in line with the global benchmarks and, therefore, feel great pride over this achievement, he added.

Following is the overall ranking of lounge facilities:

1) Lahore 94.44
2) Jeddah 79.19
3) Cape Town 74.94
4) Male 69.49
5) Campbell Town 68.48

Population is not a problem!
Look at Shanghai which has more population than Karachi, yet, look at the development of both the cities and find for yourself the stark contrast between the two.......

sooo u mean sanctions, water problems,severage problems and housing problems and travelling and transportation,security issues are not hurdles for any city development??
u r kidding me....
think before u reply man....
and think of logic plzzz
hahhh overpopulation isnot problem..

Compare them to Lahore vs Shanghai and see that the higher population Shanghai has scored over Lahore on almost all these factors......

Population is not a problem, you need a good governance.
