Green Urban Development

Prime Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan – Mr Imran Khan is fond of Green Development. As we have seen him work on various places that show his love for the environment. He leads the meeting of RRUDP (Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Project) and exclaimed how important it is to have an integrated plan. He projected the idea that clean drinking water and unplanned construction will be a challenge and must be heard accordingly.

PM – Imran Khan is fond of modernization but with proper green urbanization and development. He has said straightforwardly that Pakistan is one of the Environmentally-Threatened countries so proper green spaces are the solution. Arable land when housed by residential schemes might inflict a serious issue for the future of the country. He encourages vertical construction to avoid the extra intake of land by the housing or commercial schemes.
