17. Housing Units - Shortage
① Population growth, the continuing trend toward
urbanization, and rising incomes are all fueling
the increasing demand for housing.
① There is 10 Million Housing Units shortage, i.e.
further accumulating by 0.34 million units every year !!
① Formal financial sector caters only up to 2 % of all
housing transactions, the lowest ratio in the region
(10-12% is catered by Informal Sector)

19. How to cater the needs of society?
• Horizontal growth is untenable, going vertical
is the suitable option;
 Economies of Scale
 Affordability
 Short Commuting
 Facilitate Social Mobility
• Making cities competitive - developing civic
infrastructure compatible with Environment .
• Coherent town planning with a Master Plan
for City’s Development. (water, sewage, gas, electricity,
firefighting, parking, Transport nods and pedestrian-friendly)

20. Cities as engine of economic
growth - Better Urban Policy
• Density : Double edge
– agglomeration economies; The benefits of
spatial concentration include the reduction of
transport costs for goods, people, and ideas.
– spatial proximity; For millennia, cities have
had to deal with the negative consequences
of density, which include contagious disease,
crime, and congestion.

21. Competitive Cities Look Like
• Accelerated economic growth. The top 10 percent of cities
achieved 13.5 percent annual gross domestic product (GDP) per
capita growth, compared with 4.7 percent in an average city;
• Outstanding job growth. The top 10 percent of cities achieved 9.2
percent annual jobs growth, compared with 1.9 percent in the
remaining 90 percent.
• Increased incomes and productivity. The top 10 percent of cities
increased the average disposable income of their households by 9.8
percent annually.
• Magnets for foreign direct investment (FDI). The top 5 percent of
cities obtained as much FDI as the bottom 95 percent of cities
combined.

22. Leveraging Karachi Way Forward !!!
① Finding the new land;
a) Damaging Agriculture
b) Deforestation
② Karachi have to remove the barriers;
a) Regulations promoting rent-seeking
b) Over-restrictive building codes
c) Zoning laws
d) Incentivizing efficiency and innovation (an inclusive approach)
③ The construction industry needs to evolve;
a) Opaque marketplace (Informality and corruption)
b) Poor project management and design processes,
c) A lack of investment in technology, R&D, and workforce skills
Intensified / Efficient
urban land use

23. 4) Governments, (K. City) and Construction
Industry urgently need to collaborate for improving
the residents’ quality of life and ensure that
housing shortages do not become a drag on
economic growth.
5) Optimal degree of federalism/provincialism to
carve appropriate policies, and the use of
engineering and economics approaches to
reducing the negative consequences of density.
Leveraging Karachi Way Forward !!!
