Islamabad's First Master Plan Approved for Sector Development

Islamabad's First Master Plan Approved for Sector Development

On November 4, 1985, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) approved Islamabad's first comprehensive master plan for systematic sector development. This landmark decision established the framework for organized urban expansion, dividing the city into numbered sectors with designated residential, commercial, and green areas. The plan introduced standardized plot sizes, proper infrastructure development, and controlled urban sprawl. This systematic approach to city planning made Islamabad a model for modern urban development in Pakistan and significantly enhanced property values through planned growth.
