     2.2-     Present conditions, issues: assets, deficiencies

• Today Lahore experiences mass urbanization of over 1,000 hectares every year
• Mono-centric metropolitan structure
• No mass transit available;
• Cantonment development by DHA: actively engaged in housing development for upper middle-class clientele, i.e. 7 phases or 4,400 ha under construction.

     3.1-     Objectives/Goals

 

Conservation of our humanity and our environment

 

     3.2-     Policies

• Reduce Global Footprint
• Integrated Land-Use

 

     3.3-     Strategies

Urban structure based on a conurbation of about 50 towns, each with a maximum population of 250,000

Densities 300 persons per hectare

Physical size of not more than 3 km across

•  Urbanism:

o   Pedestrian circulation at neighborhood level ;
o   public transport between neighborhoods;
o   restricted use of private motor vehicles;
o   Integrate income and occupational groups;
o   Integrate land uses, particularly housing, employment and social infrastructure;
o   Balance location of urban services and facilities in relation to population for each neighborhood;

• Urban Forestry:
• Increase forestation: River, canal, road and other marginal lands can supply entire needs of timber for the metropolitan area;
