Underconstruction in Karachi -Skyscraper.com






Posted 11 Sep 2003

**Sorry for the bad Quality!***



















Pakistan's Tallest for a LONG time! MCB Tower, which is 5m taller now takes the title, though this is still my favorite!





























Karachi is a city in southern Pakistan, and the capital of Sindh Province, on the Arabian Sea, at the northwestern edge of the Indus River delta. The hub of a sprawling metropolitan area, Karachi is the nation's largest city and its chief transportation, financial, commercial, and manufacturing center. Most of the international trade of Pakistan and landlocked Afghanistan pass through the city's busy modern port, centered on the island of Kiamari. Major highways and railroads focus on the city, and the modern airport here is a stopover and refueling point for intercontinental flights to more than 40 airlines. Among the many products of Karachi are steel, textiles, chemicals, refined petroleum, footwear, machinery, handicrafts, and processed food. The city also is an important banking center and has a stock exchange. The University of Karachi (1951) and NED University of Engineering and Technology (1922) are here. The tomb of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, is a landmark.
An old settlement, Karachi was a small fishing and trade center when captured by the British in 1839 and annexed three years later. Under British rule, it became the chief outlet for Indus Valley cotton and grain exports. After Pakistan became independent (1947), Karachi was the new nation's capital until it was replaced by Rawalpindi in 1959. During the early years of independence it grew rapidly as the chief port and industrial center of West Pakistan, and many Muslim refugees from India settled here.

Population - 5, 180, 562 (City)
Population - 12, 435, 343 (Metro)

Dont mind . but I Dont think after looking at these pictures that they are worth bragging about. I think if this is what you are baragging for. Karachi has a long way to go.
Pls see. ..no flaming .. just my opinion.

karachi still better then mumbai kid, we don't have ppl livin on the streets everywhere... no offense just my opinion...

desibaba says
ahhh... dont get me started. Why do you guys make such Jack a** comments. I think You guys shud really go up and look on the net about Mumbai and India and see the development to believe it. I know that You would not have that oppurtunity to collect the knowledge sitting in Karachi. Because the Media there is not allowed to write positive about India.
The fotografs posted above are proof enuf. We wudnt even call these pictures development or beauty. these would resmble the Bad and ugly portion in Mumbai and delhi.

I dont understand your problem. You start it up. You start saying bad words. and then you ask me to Shut up. Someone posts some pictures asking for everyones comments. I was just offering my view. Why do you have to get all hot. I know everyone loves there own native land. Come on You dont have to be ashamed of your city.
You dont hvae to boil if some else doesnt like Karachi. Simple.
And please dont give those lame threats of banning me. Just coz you have power to do so. Have some guts. argue it out on the boards fair and clear.
