Urban Planning is a central tenet of city-life as urban areas continue to be hubs of commercial and economic activity. The cities of Pakistan are also on the road towards digital advancement as foreign investments increase. China Pakistan Economic Corridor has created an investment environment that will improve connectivity through infrastructure and digital advances. This digital infrastructure is important for a well-connected urban infrastructure that will facilitate the development of much needed sustainable cities. As the population of Pakistani cities grows, a smart city approach is needed to meet the urban demands of the growing population.
