چکیده
Islamabad is one of the examples of modern urban planning undertaken shortly after the formation of the new state of Pakistan to serve as its capital city. The Master Plan for Islamabad was prepared in 1960 by considering Islamabad as a part of a large metropolitan area by integrating the city of Rawalpindi as a twin city. These two cities were considered highly dependent to each other in overall urban development. However, the original Master Plan covering the city of Rawalpindi was not put into practice. In fact, different planning and institutional arrangement was set up to develop urban areas in twin cities. This disintegration caused lot of problem, among them urban transport and housing are the most notable one.
