Karachi is the 5th largest city of the world. Karachi is the victim of lack of urban
planning and illegal subdivision of government land. Community-based
migration, industrialization and mismanaged rehabilitation precipitated two
damaging outcomes: unplanned urban sprawl and heterogeneous ethnic
clustering. This study provides a critical analysis of urban planning in Karachi
and examines social change in the city. It attempts to traces the growth patterns
of Karachi city and attempts to explain its development through formal and
informal sectors. This study is based on original documents and field research
findings done by a number of national and international scholars. Government
documents, departmental studies, surveys, UNDP reports, field researches are
consulted. To understand the social transformation, sociological theories of
population and specially migration are used in this research.
