| As corruption thrives, big money investors coupled with encroachers are wreaking havoc on the capital's landscape. —Kalbe Ali |
For much of its existence, the capital city of Pakistan has been lovingly remembered as “The Beautiful”.
It became a standard description for the city, oft repeated by its residents and visitors (local and foreign). As the story goes, when Ayub Khan was in the process of deciding where the new capital would be located, his dream was to offer a leafy serene capital that people would prefer over cities like London and Paris.
For the better part of its existence, this young city kept the promise and the urban development somehow blended into the majestic backdrop of the Margallas (barring of course the distasteful architecture of its commercial areas).
The flora and fauna of the environs was enhanced. Civic and municipal oversight was decent enough to keep the environment aesthetically pleasant.

Unfortunately, like the rest of the country, things for Islamabad took a turn for the worse, starting 2007.
Likely to become a lot uglier
If one drives around the city, even without the ruckus caused by the ongoing metro project, it looks like an orphaned town – run-down and abandoned.
The Capital Development Authority is conspicuous only in its total absence in matters relating to environmental maintenance and regulation. Be it the absolute shocking state of its roads (with pot holes aplenty and encroachments in all its commercial centres) or the shameful deterioration of all of its public parks and sports facilities; Islamabad is paying the price of a totally dysfunctional administration and for electing representatives that are at best disinterested and at worst, incapable!
It was a most telling image when I saw a vehicle of the enforcement directorate passing by an Afghani burger outlet that has made a total mockery of civic regulations on the main road of F-10 Markaz.
This criminal indifference leaves a common resident cringing with disgust and fear.
While countries around us learned and progressed in urban development, a beautiful city is in terminal decline and no one seems to be bothered about it.
Also read: Authorities push ahead with plans to clear Islamabad of slums
One wonders if the executive authorities of the CDA ever venture out of their large offices and see for themselves what all is ailing the city. It is impossible for anyone with only a passing ability of observation to not take notice of an illegal but thriving automobile market that has emerged in F-11, occupying shoulders on both sides of the road.
A glaring disregard for regulations
All these ugly developments cannot be due to incompetence alone; corruption has a large part to play in this too.
Inside the commercial centres; overflowing water tanks, unsightly wires and cables, mushrooming gangs of beggars make for a totally intolerable experience. Jinnah Super Market, once a cherished place for families for a stroll to a book shop or for road-side coffee, has been rendered into a cheap imitation of Gawalmandi.
Any conscientious Lebanese would probably sue us for the use (read abuse) of the term ‘shawarma’ for the shockingly unhygienic food being sold in all open areas there.
Instead of turning it into a tourist attraction, we have turned that market into a trash can.
Also read: Islamabad under beggars’ siege
The connivance of civic bodies with big money investors and the latitude extended to them reveals just how brazenly rampant corruption is in state structures. We have had to endure the unsightly development of a shopping mall in F-7 with an unfathomable disregard for managing the associated traffic and parking.
Now we see another mall being constructed on Jinnah Avenue and the developer is allowed total impunity as he wreaks havoc by spraying mud and earthwork on Nazimuddin road, the material transported by another innovation of ours: tractor-trolley.
Is there no building code or regulation in Pakistan that binds developers of new projects to not treat the entire inhabited surroundings as their construction site?
One hopes that someone from the powers that be shall take notice of this before things go beyond repair. We all saw how the city got a shot in the arm when one good chairman of the CDA sparked life and not only improved the road and parks infrastructure, but also laid the foundation for a buzzing performing arts and theatre site.
We remain a personality-driven community with no hope of any systemic improvement of governance. I hope there is someone in our fast decaying bureaucracy to stem the rot out. Until then, CDA might as well rephrase the title to "Islamabad the woeful".
PS. The only bright side to this bleak picture are the heroes of the city's sanitation staff. They are doing a great job in trying to clean the mess created by a community that certainly doesn't believe in cleanliness being next to Godliness.

I lived in Islamabad from 2007 - 2010. I saw people well to do people, from the rest of the country were shifting homes to Islamabad which was regarded as relatively safer and better place to live. That created a big market for the real estate developers. If they had done proper urban planning and development, the beautiful would have remained beautiful and only increased in size.

Omair, a nicely written article. I am a resident of Islamabad since 1969 and seen it's deterioration gradually.
Alas, with the country sliding down, it was only a matter of time when Islamabad would have also taken a hit.
The decay started with the advent of narco-dollars around the early eighties and has since continued unabated.

N league's approach is not institutional. Their notion of development is not based on human capital, but on construction because there is big money in it and its visible. Hence, more votes. They cant think beyond next elections.

this pathetic situation is not limited to islamabad only, rather it has destroyed the whole country. today i attended a meeting in Karachi Gymkhana, attended by top officials of Karachi. it was nothing mere a place for gossip. it appears when someone speaks, he doesn't work, and when he works, he doesn't raise his voice.
from our parliament house to small gatherings, all are there to raise fingers on each other. no one is interested in solving the problems of this country.
i remember islamabad, when i visited it at first time in June 2007. it was awesome on its first sight. Faisal mosque from islamabad highway gave a magnificent look in the background of Margalla hills. both sides of Islamabad Highway, up to blue area were completely covered with forests. but unfortunately all the trees are gone now.
indeed islamabad, the beautiful, is now islamabad woeful.

We have also got to compromise some of the greenbelt for extension of the roads, as the population in islamabad is constantly increasing. It takes a complete hour driving from bahria town to zero point during school timings. If this route can be made signal free and 10- lane then it will take only 15-20 minutes. Environment loving people should also realize the problems of the people.

In my view it is a high time to shift the capital of Pakistan to a less developed region of Pakistan. The current capital is too far away from Sindh and Balochistan and it is more like a Capital for KP , Punjab and AJK only. The current Islamabad cannot act as the capital of Pakistan. The ordinary Pakistanis can neither afford nor relate to Islamabad anymore. Islamabad is more like a Rich Man heaven of Pakistan.

when done without any holistic agenda, development can be destruction, construction turns catastrophic, progressive becomes regressive...this seems to be the case here in Islamabad.
In a capital surrounded by nature, development is destruction. It is time to stop asphalt, concrete, steel, billboards, and any unnatural clutter destroying the nature. Invest in trees, green belts, walk ways, cycling tracks, pedestrianized zones with no cars.
Just like been done in many cities of Europe and in Singapore.

It should grow even faster but yes more planned. Not just in and around one area. But well spread out. With decent greenery well spread too.

If it had to be shifted it should have gone to either Chittagong in a part of the country where 54% of the population lived or to somewhere between DI Khan and Multan so as to place it in the center of the country. But now we are too poor to even maintain a capital, least of all build a new one

Pakistan needs to work on developing landscapes and missing facilities such as holiday irland for forigners and City centres should have international standard shopping centres without donkeys and animals walking around, all these facilities attract forigners to invest more. Trams and trainstaions are needed. Properly trained Security guards and police officers. Also secret agents should monitor corrupion. This will make a better Pakistan and International investment will boom boom. Learn from other countries such as China, S Korea which went boom boom attraction. Pakistan has all 4 seasons weather. People can go on holidays in Murri if it was organaised with skiing hotels shopping mall international standards. Rest countries can can benifit from Theme Parks, beachs, etc...

There will never be any city in Pakistan to match Islamabad for sole reason it is the capital and will always be most secure city in Pakistan. It will always be invested heavily because all foreign tours will come to Islamabad first. And lastly Karachi might have sea and Lahore might have wagah border.
