Vision

Cities have an important role in the economy of a country where citizens, especially the youth aspires developmental progress. Our urban population which constitutes 37% of the total in Pakistan contributes to over 60% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). This contribution may likely increase as Pakistan rides high on the wave of economic growth. Urban groups, in the presence of central business districts (CBDs), office facilities and business hubs, will benefit from vast new opportunities. CBDs, the areas with high economic activity, will provide a suitable ecosystem and infrastructure for the income support of people. The CBD in Lahore will play a vital role in economic growth while attracting people seeking business & job opportunities. PCBDDA through its "Smart City Mission" will identify initiatives which can be taken up for the benefit of residents spread across the CBD. PCBDDA supports ‘smart applications’ or ‘smart solutions’ in routine. We believe that the use of technology needs to be encouraged within CBDs for better systems and a conducive environment for economic growth in Pakistan to attract more capital and benefit local residents.
