stingray Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Islamabad: The Capital image removed A Greek firm of architects, Doxiadis Assosciates, drew up a master plan, triangular in shape based on a grid system with its apex towards the Margalla Hills. The planners envisaged Islamabad eventually absorbing Rawalpindi entirely and stretching well to the west of the GT Road. The city was divided into eight zones: the diplomatic enclave, the commercial district, the educational sector, the industrial area and so on, each with its own shopping area and park. Construction began in 1961 and the first residents moved in two years later. Meanwhile, government offices were temporarily moved up to Rawalpindi. The city came to life on 26 October 1966, when the first office building was occupied. Link to comment

stingray Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 Before, I get flamed I am not spamming I am trying to share my country with everyone. Pakistan has been in the news a lot lately and I just want to set the record straight by using pictures. Most of which are either on my server and are mine or are hosted on my server by people. Some of them are also posted because they fall under the fair use clause. Link to comment
