Education CityA Proposed Solution by the Government of Sindh

Approximately 9,000 acres of land has been legally notified as Education City

Core elements of EC are ‘local’ educational and health institutions that will provide

locally relevant solutions to Pakistan’s challenge of higher education

Opportunity and attraction to remain and study in Pakistan.

1,839 acres of land has been allocated to 7 local institutions while more than two

dozen other institutions are awaiting allotments

Educational institutions will create the opportunity for private R&D businesses as a

component of EC

Residential and commercial development will enjoy a ‘quality of life’ or ‘character of

community’ that is typical of educational communities

A consortium of planners - Arcop Group, Chan Krieger Sieniewicz (USA), and

Halcrow (Pakistan) is in the process of developing a master plan for the Education

City
