A video abut Infra development in Pakistan, by Habib Construction Limited. Lahore is looking good as well as BRTS in Islamabad and Multan.

A question, last time I went to Lahore - I saw a bunch of 'old' Houses being demolished to make room for development. Many of them were poor and it seemed they were being forced out - although these Houses may have been built illegally they have been there for decades. Do you know what happens to these people?

even though lahore has better infra , i think karachi is more modern than lahore , i mean the people

Lahore people are kind of rude, uncivilised and one can find them staring at women unlike karachiites .. but Lahore has got better infra than Karachi for sure ... I'm sorry if I hurt someone's feelings but that's what I have observed

It depends where you go honestly.

Most of the upper middle to upper class in Karachi lives in Bungalows, and they are not visible on internet, like when you take a skyline picture residential areas are ignored. Also middle to lower middle class want to lives in homes rather than apartments in Lahore and Islamabad. Lahore hardly has any apartment complex's. Karachi has the largest share of apartment buildings. Islamabad has a decent share of apartments.

Still Bungalows are preferred over luxury apartments, who can afford it. Some of the homes in Karachi. There are acres upon acres of such development, not visible on internet.

the homes above can give any modern Homes in the US a run for their money. But I believe these are what the top 1% can afford? or are they more like the top 15% earners?

People on forum need to remember that Pakistan had a higher growth rate for longer in the initial stages. the slump only happened during the WoT and the Zarb periods but thats picking up now due to CPEC and other investments.

It would certainly help both India and Pakistan if they explored an IPEC of sorts that would include Afg and Iran (given the nascent stages of development those two regions are in), But, at the moment, Pakistan can stand on its won with only the CPEC.

one thing to guard against is the dumping of Chinese goods that disrupts the local economy - specially the manufacturing economy. Chinese huge investments in manufacturing sector means that no one can compete with their low cost manufacturing for the time being.

I think out of India , Pakistan and Bangladesh only Pakistani's prefer living in houses. Karachi , Lahore , Islamabad , Multan , Faisalabad , Peshawer you will find people prefering to live in Luxury homes rather than Condo' s.

Many Homes in Islamabad's F and E sectors can give beverly hills a run for its money.

Chances are they were demolished for BRTS, called metro bus route in Lahore, earlier. Now lot of demolition for orange line metro train...

That's right. More to do with preference and availability of affordable land, residential plots. Bangladesh is land stressed, just 22% the size of Pakistan. Also in India population density is twice that of Pakistan. Land and house price also matters, like in Mumbai there are hardly any Bungalows, all Condo's and apartments, a 3 BHK luxury apartment will cost 20 crore plus in a good apt complex in Mumbai, one can have a luxurious 2000 yards bungalow with pool and everything in Karachi and Lahore with that amount.

Delhi, Chennai and some other cities in India has Bungalow living concept. Mumbai not. Pakistan can be termed as a land of plenty in this context. Some of the homes are insanely big, brash and opulent.

the homes above can give any modern Homes in the US a run for their money. But I believe these are what the top 1% can afford? or are they more like the top 15% earners?

I think these well designed house has more than 1% customers in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad. Google earth, not Google search, write Karachi and open it in Google maps. Up close areas like DHA, Karachi, you can see tens of thousands of homes on big plots like 2000, 1000 and 500 yards. And many with swimming pools and gardens.

You are right about Pakistan developing faster than India and the region in early 50-55 years of its independence, now picking up again. CPEC will help sustain an impressive growth.

Islamabad is most modern and beautiful city of Pakistan

Another luxury home in Karachi, designed by a famous architectural firm ASA.

The thing is these type of houses are not in the picture as when you take a skyline or city snap, only high rises or apartments are visible, and not low rise homes.

Same home interior and baths...

Population is the problem that India is really facing .
Pakistan has some advantage when it compares to that criteria .
If you have less population growth it it would definitely good.
