GROWING CITY
Karachi is a fast growing city
which features many modern and impressive restaurants, stores,
boutiques, furniture makers and specialty shops. As in any large
city, the pollution and traffic are major issues. However,
environmental friendly groups are creating awareness and the city is
improving quickly. The rapid construction of new roads, bridges and
shopping malls is giving Karachi a newfound hope for the
years to come. Extensive expansion is planned for the near future,
as are luxury living towers, resort and golf clubs and extravagant shopping malls. Karachi
has the potential to be one of the world's mega cities and we excitedly
look forward to the positive changes that are taking place now and
future.
