UrbanistMeet-uponIslamabad
Oct 4 – Oct 4

For this meet-up, Saman shared with us urban insights on Islamabad, Pakistan, focusing on its history and rapid development.

What did we talk about?

Saman from Darr Studio provided us with an overview of Islamabad's development, including its current rapid expansion, challenges, and opportunities.

She shared about the approach of Darr Studio, looking at the "city at eye level".

It was fascinating to hear about how the city is expanding, as there is limited documentation available on this process.

Some topics discussed
  • The development of Islamabad
  • About the future of the growing city
  • What does looking at the "city at eye-level" mean?
