Pakistan now has a housing need of 11-12 million units. To meet the rising demand for residential units in Pakistan, the government has initiated an excellent project to give cheap housing to the public. The government has responded by launching the Naya Pakistan Housing Project. In this regard, the construction of housing has begun in all provinces of Pakistan such as Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan, Gilgit Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir.
Housing Policy of the Government
Respective governments in Pakistan have mostly ignored the housing sector. If it caught the eye of the elected leaders at all, it never progressed beyond simple political rhetoric. Even though some job was completed at the political level, it never progressed beyond some wishful thinking and talks and was never even put on the drawing board. The anticipated number of urban housing shortages is roughly 4 million. Pakistan’s urban population accounts for one-third of the overall population and is anticipated to reach 50percent by 2050. Most of the urban housing shortage is concentrated in the poor and lower-middle-income groups of the population. You may also like to learn about the Lahore Smart City.
On the supply side, the residential developer business has been active in delivering apartments to the middle and upper-middle classes. People living at the Bottom-of-the-Pyramid (BoP), which is believed to be 20percent of the population, mostly reside in unlawful habitats, squatter colonies, and townships (Katchi Abadis). Housing supply for poor and lower-income brackets is often referred to as the Social Housing Segment, whilst housing markets for upper-middle and high-income groups are referred to as the Market Housing Segment.
