The conference on Karachi in 2013 was the first event arranged by a newly-created body, The Karachi Conference Foundation, designed to deliberate on all aspects of the city’s life. This book, bringing together the papers presented at the Conference, represents a landmark in scholarship on the mega-city and its issues. It is always a matter of great interest to see how certain societies have developed, starting out as Stone Age sites and flourishing as throbbing urban centres. While not every stage of this process is always documented, the records of remnants collected often help in painting a portrait that provides insights into this transformation. This is what Studies on Karachi does. Lay readers and scholars in a range of different disciplines with an interest in how a sleepy settlement in the late medieval period developed into a mega-city will find this book particularly useful. What emerges from the various chapters is the depiction of a city that, despite its vibrancy, is afflicted with numerous problems, ranging from poor planning to colossal mismanagement. Women, marginalized communities, neglected areas, issues of planning and development, and the history, and the anthropology of Karachi are all particular foci of attention throughout the book.

Karachi in the Twenty-First Century available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The forces of globalisation are indiscriminate – they enable those who pursue good and those who pursue evil. The changes brought about by globalisation affect all segments of society, all walks of life, all political parties, all religions, all ethnic groups, and all countries. Sometimes they occur in the most unexpected ways and yield complex results that appear to be mystifying and intractable, at least on the surface. This book describes how the forces of globalisation have descended upon Karachi and exacerbated local and regional problems to the point where the city is teetering on the brink of chaos. Karachi is geographically, politically, and culturally situated in the context of modern Pakistan, but is a global city affected by global forces, many of which challenge the state’s power and authority. The lessons of Karachi are important for both its present and its future, and they can serve as a cautionary tale for other global cities. Karachi is vitally important to Pakistan. While Islamabad is the country’s capital, Karachi is the most important financial centre in the country. It is the centre of banking, industry, economic activity and trade. Many of Pakistan’s largest corporations are based in Karachi, including entertainment, arts, fashion, medical research, the automotive industry, shipping, textiles, advertising, publishing, and software development. Karachi is also home to Pakistan’s main seaport and two of the largest ports in the region, the Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim.
