Karachi is not
just a city. It is a unique city in many ways. To begin with, it is a metropolis
in the strict sense of the word, characterized by an accelerating rate of
suburban growth. Its rate of growth has been phenomenal, particularly since the
emergence of Pakistan. From a medium-size city of less than 500,000 population
in 1947 it grew to well over five million in 1981 and, according to most
conservative estimates, has now exceeded 6.5 million mark. With increase in
population there has been simultaneous increase in its a real extent, as
indicated by the figures - 233 sq. Ian. in 1947 to 1300 sq. Km. in
1986.
