Making of Islamabad

As an urban planner, my job and research is to study cities. While cities are dynamic entities with myriad of factors shaping a city life, researchers like me try to make sense of how a city operates. Rather, and far more importantly, we seek to answer the bigger question of why does a city operate the way it does. In doing so, I have been studying cities for a decade now and have been focusing on the spatial planning of cities. The work that I am submitting here is a part of an ongoing research wherein I am trying to generate educational content from Urban Planning in my country (Pakistan) language: Urdu. The purpose of this effort is twofold: first, I want to take up challenging research as a doctoral student at UIC which this one is, and second that because this kind of knowledge is usually inaccessible to my country fellow back in Pakistan due to language barrier, I want to create such content in native language but with quality content. This video is such an effort and I am determined to go a long way ahead!
