ALLAH Almighty Says:

“Do not cause corruption on earth, after it has been set in order. But call on Him with fear and hope. Surely, the

Mercy of Allah is always near for those who do good.” (Surah al- A’raf: Verse no. 56)

Message from the Chairman: Prof. Dr. Rizwan Hameed

I hope this edition of Planners Own will find every body in best of his spirit and

health. The present volume covers the period from July to December 2015 duringwhich a lot of things happened and kept all of us at the Department extremely

busy. One of the noteworthy activities was the seminar on housing regeneration

in connection with world town planning day celebrations. The event was well

attended by senior and young town planners and proved memorable for all the

participants. In this context, the devotion and patronage of Prof. Dr. Ghulam

Abbas deserve special mention and appreciation. The efforts of entire faculty,

staff and students are also praise worthy. The whole department felt obliged to

our worthy vice chancellor, Prof. Dr. Fazal Ahmed Khalid for gracing the occa-

sion as chief guest. The art exhibition of Ms. Erum Ahfaq was also well attended

and applauded. I take this opportunity to thank all those town planners and pro-

fessionals who participated in the event and made it a successful event.

Internship Program of 2012 And 2013 Sessions

Internship programs are designed to provide students with an opportunity to work on real tasks

and gain practical experience in the field. These programs give students an exposure to the professional

environment, which polishes their communication and professional skills. Students with internships on

their résumé have a much better chance of landing a better job after graduation. Realizing the importance of

internships, the students of second and third year were facilitated by the DCRP in seeking internship pro-

grams at various organizations during the summer break.

Awais Yaseen, Iffrah Riaz, Javeria, Farwa, Nimra and Humna from 2012 session along with Ayesha

Hanif, Asra Shabeer, Rab Nawaz, Qaiser Abbas, Asad Imtiaz, Mubasher Hussain and Shabab Aslam from

2013 session carried out their internship program in Pakistan Railways Headquarter Lahore. They remainedassociated with the information technology department of Pakistan Railways where they worked as GIS

experts. Their main task was to prepare land use maps along the railway track to check the accurate location

of trains at every point. For that purpose, digitization along the railway line of whole Pakistan was done in

order to identify major landmarks along the rail route. This project will be beneficial to detect the exact

location of trains in emergency cases with the help of location devices provided in trains.

Students of 2012 session; Amna Zahid, Nida Chohan, Anum Hafeez, Sameen Baber, Mamoona,

Aneeza Qaiser, Quratulain Anwar and Quratulain Ayaz worked as internees in The Urban Unit. They were

grouped in the ‘urban planning wing’ to carry out a number of assignments. They remained a part of the

team that is working on one of the biggest project of the century i.e. The New City project. Proposed on the

Lillah Interchange of Motorway M2, New City is currently undergoing a pre-feasibility study. The interneesalso contributed to Eco-tourism Program for Soon Valley, being carried out by The Urban Unit in collabora-

tion with the Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab (TDCP), by carrying out research studies and

digitization tasks. In the finest working environment of The Urban Unit, they managed to learn a couple of

essential software as well.

Abdul Haseeb, Iqra Rafiq and Quratulain Anwar got internship in the Transport Planning Unit of

the Government of Punjab where they carried out various research studies like “comparison of mitigation

measures of impacts suggested in the EIA of Orange Line Metro Train, Lahore with the internationally

adopted mitigation measures during the planning, construction and operation phases”. They also reviewed

numerous reports such as “terminal zoning in Sialkot city and setting of parameters for selection of suitable

location for A, B, C & D class bus terminals” and “accessibility mobility audit report, Faisalabad.”

Fasih Asif, Qandeel Raza, Sana Naseer, Samia and Safia Mustafa did their internships at the Lahore

Development Authority where they were associated with different deputy directors. Apart from having a

thorough understanding of the functions of their particular wings, LDA Act and LDA PHS Rules, they

carried out various assignments and tasks to get know-how of the approval process of housing schemes.

Their internship program also included field visit of Dream Gardens and LDA City housing scheme.

Muhammad Ali got internship at the Capital Development Authority, Islamabad. He conducted a

number of field surveys of various approved and proposed housing schemes to have a practical knowledge

of the processes involved in the approval and sanctioning of housing schemes. Ahmad Waqas worked with

the Urban Developers Associates as a part of the team that carried out planning and design of Grand Ave-

nues housing scheme. Waqar Ahmad managed to work as an internee for planning and execution, in PC&S

Department of Descon, where he remained associated with the project management tasks using Primavera

software. Shanza Nasir completed her internship in TMA Renala Khurd, Okara.

Students of 2012 session belonging to KPK i.e. Seemab Jalees, Shakir Ali Khan, Amir Ali and Javed

shah worked in the Peshawar Development Authority as internees. Besides carrying out various daily tasks

and getting acquainted with the working procedures of PDA, they actively contributed in the street naming

and numbering project.

These internship programs have helped the students of DCRP to have an in-depth comprehension of

the field work and have widened their outlooks about the town planning field.

Purchase of New Books for DCRP Library

There has been a new inclusion of books in the DCRP library. More than fifty new books have been

purchased. This has made both the staff and students get the preferred references easily. Library Informa-

tion Management System (LIMS) is the search engine

that helps the users save time. By using book title,

author name and other searchable keywords, the

LIMS of DCRP helps students find all available

books in a few clicks. Another addition is e-books

that are stored in the computers. Since the advanced

technology is making man closer to electronics,

many will prefer reading the books of their choice in

soft form. Both the hard and soft form books make

DCRP library one of the most updated libraries in

the campus.

Purchase of Latest Computers for Computer Lab of DCRP

Computers are the tools that attempt to bridge the gap between ‘knowledge’ and ‘knowledge

seekers’. Realizing the importance of computer labs for research and practical work, the DCRP has pur-

chased new Core i7 computers with the help of university administration. The intension is develop a state of

the art GIS lab to enable students to have access to up-to-date technology for their projects and research

work. This will also help the students to enjoy better working experience with software like GIS, 3D Max

and AutoCAD.

Revision of B Sc CRP Courses

The BSc CRP four year degree program aims not only to develop expertise in students for resolving

the issues relevant to urbanization, planning and management but also targets to cultivate interdisciplinary

skills i.e., leadership, social responsibility, equity, ethics, decision making, advocacy and public involve-

ment.

In the same context, the course outline of B Sc CRP has been revised by the Department to impart

knowledge and develop expertise among the students. The revision involved thorough debate and evalua-

tion of existing scheme of courses with respect to field requirements resulting in up-gradation of several

courses as well as inclusion of some new courses.

When it comes to the professional field, various jobs require specialized skills. So to meet the market

demands, a new course has been introduced at the undergraduate level namely, “Entrepreneurship”. That

will not only steer up entrepreneurship creativity but will also boost up leadership skills of the students.

Besides that, some allied courses have also been introduced to bring the degree in line with the field require-

ments and to achieve the goal of outcome based education. Applied Physics and Environmental chemistry

are amongst those courses. Applied Physics specifically focuses on urban spaces and buildings keeping in

view the energy requirements.

Similarly, another course, Environmental chemistry has been added to make the students familiarize

with basic concepts like water quality testing, air pollutants as well as to get know-how about chemical toxi-

cology, hazardous waste, organic and inorganic toxins and their analysis.

Considering the difficulties being faced by previous sessions in 3D model making under the subjects

like “Planning of new towns” and “Urban Design”, a course on “Workshop Practice (model making)” has

also been introduced. It will help students learn the art and techniques of model making and develop skills

in 3D model of houses, commercial buildings, housing schemes, and new towns. Another course on

“Active Citizenship and Development Planning” has been introduced to help students gain skills to work

with communities and learn methods to influence decision-makers, value and importance of advocacy and

diplomacy in public life. The revision also saw inclusion of a new course on “Rural Development Planning”with the view to make students aware of interaction systems of rural communities, institutions, activities,

structures, natural resources, environment, politics and social process, and rural development programs in

Pakistan. A course on Landscape design has also been included to introduce concepts of landscape architec-

ture to students and make them aware of integration of landscape features in urban projects to increase the

aesthetic quality.

The new scheme of undergraduate courses has been duly approved by the Academic Council of the Univer-

sity and already applicable from 2015 session onwards.

Final Year Sets Out For Master Planning To Abbottabad

2nd November 2015 marked the beginning of the most memorable days for the final year students

as they set out for Abbottabad to conduct their master planning survey.

For many years, students of DCRP have been preparing master plans for the cities of Punjab. It was

realized that students must have experience of working in areas other than those of Punjab, particularly

hilly areas. Thus, based on the planning need and favourable conditions, Abbottabad was selected as the

city for master planning. While preparing the base map and questionnaires for master planning survey,

the zeal and zest of the students knew no bounds and finally came the day of departure. 51 enthusiastic

students were accompanied by Dr. Muhammad Asim and Mrs. Saima Rafique for the first week of their

stay at Abbottabad and by their course instructors Dr. Obaidullah Nadeem and Mr. Arif Hussain in thesecond week.

Upon arrival, a meeting with the officials of TMA Abbottabad was conducted to make sure that

students wouldn’t face any problems during the survey. After a slight delay due to bad weather, finally,

the surveys were conducted to know the problems faced by dwellers of the city from planning perspective.

Abbottabad is one of the most attractive hill station for tourists because of its pleasant weather and

breath-taking natural beauty. The city is also famous for its high-standard educational institutions and

Pakistan Military Academy Kakul. However, since the earthquake of 2005, Abbottabad is facing severe

problems because of the lack of proper physical and economic planning.

Students identified the absence of solid waste management system, improper sewerage system and

poor road conditions as the core problems of the city. The areas for improvement and potential for new

development were also pointed out. Moreover, interviews were conducted with the officials of various

concerned departments to know their future plans to manage the growth and development of the city.

Apart from these academic activities, tours of Shinkiyari, Harnoi, Namli Maira and Murree were

also conducted to understand Abbottabad from regional perspective. The master planning team returned

after completing the tiresome task of data collection with unforgettable recollections of field surveys dur-

ing the daytime, collective meals in the mess hall and relaxing evenings with friends.

STUDENTS’ SPOTLIGHT

Class projects of 2014 Session

Environmental Planning and Management

The course of Environmental Planning and Manage-

ment comprised of both theoretical and practical portions. The

final project in the practical portion titled “Environmental

problems from large-scale industry and their remedies; cases

of KSK (GT road) and Sheikhupura Road industrial complexes,

Lahore” was aimed at whetting the mental concepts of the stu-

dents regarding the interaction between town planning andthe environment.

The project, as the name suggests, included the study

of various environmental problems being generated by large

scale industries located on the Shiekhupura Road and Kala

Shah Kaku (GT Road) region. The students had to observe en-

vironmental threats due to these industries to the surrounding

areas in particular and the whole city in general and suggest

remedial measures to reduce or prevent these threats in the

future. Visits to the case study areas were arranged for the stu-

dents, who interacted with the industrialists and residents ofthe area to gather information through questionnaires. The

whole class was divided into different groups and the course

instructor Prof. Dr. Rizwan Hameed assigned different tasks to

each group. Finally, each group had to prepare and submit a

report on the project.

rchitectural Design

Architectural Design was taught by Mr. Usman Awan

from Architecture Department. The course consisted of two

projects i.e. House project and Mosque Project. Each studenthad to submit site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, and

axonometric plans of a house in the mid-term project and de-

sign of a mosque in the final term project. Superb drawing

skills were exhibited by the young learners for this project.

An overview of some of the problems being faced by Lahore-the city of gardens

Abdul Qadir Jilani

(2014-CRP)

The city of Lahore has shown an unimaginable increase in population and an unexpected trans-

gressions in its boundaries. The massive migration of people from rural areas, deficiency of facilities and

pollution have made the situation even worse and have deteriorated the beauty of a once beautiful and

serene city. Some of these problems are:

Over-population

Congestion

Encroachments

Poor traffic flow

Inadequate or inefficient public transportation system

Increase in pollution

Sewerage problems Dirty or turbid drinking water

Indifferent attitude towards historical buildings

Urban sprawl

The population of Lahore according to the 1998 census was 6 million, which grew rapidly with the

passage of time. In July 2014, the population of the city was estimated to be 7 million. An estimate in

January 2015 gave the population of the Lahore agglomeration as 9 million. Lahore is ranked 34 th in the

list of the most populated urban areas in the world. The area of Lahore has almost doubled in the last 12

to 14 years.

There are scores of traffic problems that the Pakistani cities are facing and Lahore is no exception.

Over the years, the number of registered vehicles has increased rapidly and as a result, the city is facing

the worse traffic congestion problems. The private vehicle ownership rate has been drastically increasing

mainly due to inefficient public transport system and easy car leasing opportunities.

Lahore has topped the list of most polluted cities in Pakistan with highest air pollution level of 85

micrograms per cubic meter that is three times higher than the safe standards of Pakistan Environmental

Protection Agency (Pak-EPA). Improper sanitation systems and poor solid waste management systems

have severely affected the city.

Deteriorated sewerage system has also become a major problem for the citizens of Lahore.Sewerage water gets mixed up with the water supply lines, giving birth to several deadly diseases.

Numerous cases of diarrhea are registered on daily basis and about 20-28 percent of deaths occur due to

the contaminated water. During rainy season, condition of these areas becomes worse as the rain water

and sewerage water get mixed and the sewerage system overflows. Therefore, drainage system must be

repaired and redeveloped on urgent basis to drain water properly in the rainy season.

According to WHO, groundwater of Lahore at various locations has been contaminated and

should not be used for human consumption. But still, people residing in such areas where the water sup-

ply is pathetic and the government itself hasn’t taken any initiatives regarding the purification or filtra-

tion of water, are forced to consume this filthy water for drinking purpose as they can’t afford to buy fil-

tered water.

Another problem faced by the Lahore city is of urban sprawl that is just increasing over the years.

Different housing schemes have started to develop due to the housing shortage but still the housing

backlog keeps growing. Most of the housing schemes are yet to be fully colonized and the city is growing

rapidly.

Once renowned as a city of gardens and monuments, Lahore now manifests decaying cultural

heritage, rampant urbanization and unregulated commercialization. The monuments of Lahore, whether

great or small, suffer from negligent conservation efforts, if any at all. Among these, several old heritage

monuments are nearly obliterated. But like other sectors, no serious efforts are being carried out by the

concerned authorities and that just adds to the dilemma of poor urban management.
