ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has announced a major development plan to improve life in its capital, Islamabad. The plan was presented during a high-level meeting chaired by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi at the Capital Development Authority (CDA) headquarters.
A key decision from the meeting was the approval of a 1,000-acre public park near the Margalla Hills. The park is expected to offer modern recreational facilities and open spaces for people of all ages. Officials say it will become a major attraction and improve the city’s environment.
The government also plans to support investment in the hospitality sector. New five-star hotels will be built in partnership with international companies. In addition, a zero-tax policy for hotel investments is being prepared to attract both local and foreign investors.
To improve governance, authorities will conduct a full survey of land and properties in Islamabad. This will help resolve issues in land records and support better planning in the future.
Officials also shared updates on digital reforms. CDA services, including property transfers, are being shifted online. A central digital system will soon be launched to provide public services more efficiently.
For public safety, a dedicated emergency control room will be set up under the Safe City project to improve response times.
The meeting included senior government officials and CDA representatives. The new measures aim to manage urban growth, improve services, and make Islamabad a more modern and livable city.
