Karachi is now a mega city and is constantly growing so it needs to expand infrastructure and to provide basic necessities not only to business arid industry but to the common man as well. A lot of opportunities exist in various sectors in the city for investors.
According to information gathered, presently, Karachi is functioning without a Master Plan, therefore, needed creation of a potent and capable planning agency with necessary statutory cover.
An attempt was made to make some thing called as a 'Master Plan', but that was grossly inadequate as planning is a continuous process and cannot be packaged into one time assignment.

Law And The Nonprofit Sector In Pakistan - December 2002

These two factors have resulted in a cutting back of expenditures in a wide spectrum of public services. This in turn has resulted in the resurgence of the private sector in trying to fulfil the gaps caused by the withdrawal or retreat of the public sector.
