An Area Guide to Scheme 33 Karachi

Scheme 33, also known as Gulzar e Hijri, is one of the fastest-growing societies in Karachi. Once co-owned and managed by the Karachi Development Authority (KDA) and the Board of Revenue, the area is located near the superhighway. It is an affordable housing option in Karachi, especially when compared to other societies in the city.

The history of Scheme 33 goes back to 1971 when KDA and the Board of Revenue were responsible for this area’s land cost, allotment policies, and other terms for the planning and development work. Afterwards, in 1973, the land was allotted to over 130 cooperative housing societies. However, the project was held off for a very prolonged period until the government realised that the society would have developed faster if it had developed under a single authority.

Therefore, in 2004, the project was handed over to the City District Government of Karachi (CDGK). The project was delayed for 33 years, which is why this society is called ‘Scheme 33’.

Today, Scheme 33 is the home to 54 sectors and more than 293 housing societies, including Lawyers Colony, Incholi Cooperative Housing Society, Gwalior Cooperative Housing Society, Memon Nagar, and Gulshan-e-Kaneez Fatima.
