ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has launched a new initiative to enhance Islamabad’s status as a cultural and tourism capital. Announced on February 10, the plan aims to boost the city’s cultural appeal and attract both local and international tourists.
The CDA’s strategy includes the development of spaces dedicated to art, heritage, and cultural events, designed to foster a vibrant cultural scene. The initiative will involve the creation of cultural centers, public art spaces, and tourism-focused facilities, all of which will contribute to the city’s identity as a prominent cultural hub.
Additionally, the CDA plans to allocate land for the construction of museums, galleries, and cultural landmarks, which will showcase Pakistan’s rich history and diverse cultural heritage. These new facilities are expected to enhance the city’s tourism infrastructure, drawing more visitors to Islamabad.
The CDA is committed to preserving the city’s natural beauty as a “garden city,” ensuring that the new cultural developments align with the city’s environmental and architectural character. This approach aims to balance urban growth with sustainable design, offering a blend of modern amenities and green spaces.
This initiative is part of the CDA’s broader goal to boost the city’s visibility on the global tourism map, stimulate economic growth through cultural tourism, and create a more engaging environment for both residents and visitors. The CDA’s efforts are expected to elevate Islamabad’s reputation as a key cultural and tourism destination in the region.
