Lahore still have Suburban lifestyle as in Modern Cities more people lives in Apartment Building then suburban houses while Lahore doesnt even have this whole Apartment living on the first place. Lahore is quite conjusted though but not as dense. Its Expanding horizontally instead of Vertically unlike other Mega Cities and Karachi as well which are Expanding Vertically rather.Oh, you misunderstood me. I am not asserting that I have seen low activity in Karachi. I am just pointing out that Lahore have transformed in to a metropolis in current times, enormous expansion and activity level in many areas on daily basis.
I have visited I.I. Chundrigar on day time, I was receiving training in MCB Tower (visited its roof as well) and explored some markets there. It reminded me of Mall Road and Main Boulevard of Lahore.
Mall Road is more like Shahrah-e-Faisal of Karachi and Main Boulevard Road is like road Connecting Shahrah-e-Faisal with Clifton. Both of them are not entirely like II Chundrgarh Road as this road is like any in Pakistan.
