Introduction

The Lahore City

Lahore is regarded as the heart of Pakistan and is the capital city of the Punjab province. Almost immediately after the independence, Lahore was eclipsed by Karachi, which quickly became the biggest and most industrialized city. It was not until the administration of Mian brothers, and the 1990s riots in Karachi that Lahore once again gained its significance as an economic and cultural powerhouse through government reforms. It is now the country’s second-most populous city after Karachi. Lahore is one of Pakistan’s wealthiest cities with an estimated GDP of $127 billion (PPP) as of 2017. Lahore is the historic cultural center of the Punjab region as well as the broader Indian subcontinent, and is one of Pakistan’s most socially liberal, progressive, and cosmopolitan cities.

The economy of Lahore has a diversified base spanning from telecommunication, information technology, manufacturing industry, engineering, pharmaceuticals, steel, chemicals and construction material. As a major urban center, the economy of Lahore has relatively prospered. Lahore is hailed as the industrial belt of Pakistan and is home to the largest IT park in Pakistan. It is the country’s second largest economic hub and the commercial capital of Punjab

The economy is also enhanced by Lahore’s historic and cultural importance. Being the capital of the largest province in Pakistan brings the city one of the largest development budgets in the country. It is also the most advanced in terms of infrastructure, having extensive and relatively well developed road links to all major cities in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a rail link with India and the province’s biggest international airport. It also has the most developed communications infrastructure in the province, which includes a wide network of fiber optic telephone and cable lines, GSM mobile network, IPP and WiMax. It has the most developed education and health sectors in Pakistan, making it the economic, Technological, political and educational hub of the Pakistan. As Lahore expands, former residential areas are being turned into commercial centers, and the suburban population is constantly moving outwards. This has resulted in the notable development of the city in all directions and developments towards Raiwind are very special to be noticed.
