Imperial Cities--unlivable with whimsical mega projects (ENGLISH and URDU)

City planning professionals—Khurram Farid and Nadeem Khurshid and a profession of city development, Imran Mohammed talk to us today about the sad plight of our cities.

Listen to them tell us

• why our cities are so unlivable, how they are4 beholden to cars and captured by the rich.
• Why whimsical projects like the metro are so expensive as well as badly designed and executed.
• How cities, the most important invention known to man, have been messed up by the hubris of our princely political elite and colonial civil service who run cities without knowing their importance or potential.

Cities are the engines of growth. But in Pakistan their potential has been badly suppressed for decades.  Wake up listen to this and start reviewing and learning about cities. 

For the social scientists here, we need more research and thought on cities.
