14. Modern planning in Pakistan
Town or city planning today is based on a number of
factors, other than more psychological factors, Even as
recent as the beginning of the 20th century, town plans
were prepared exclusively for engineers, architects or
landscape architects, who focused their attention
mostly to the alignment of avenues, and streets. They
paid very little attention to the more important
sociological aspects of the town. No doubt, schools,
hospitals, and other amenities were provided to serve
the town, but their position, and location were not
usually to the best advantage of inhabitants.

15. Today the design of a city or town, is approached from a
different angle. The sociological and economic
considerations are more important than the physical than
the physical environments or the alignment of Avenue and
roads. In the present day planning, more consideration is
given to problems such as:
• The destination and location of various social amenities,
such as schools, hospitals, shopping centers and parks
for each neighborhood, so as to be within easy reach of
people.
• Proper distribution of open places for recreational
purposes of different age-group.
