    Through visual improvement to lahore development”revamping route for lahore sightseeing bus”
    (UMT Lahore, 2014) Junaid Sabri; Muhammad Zubair
    Tourism has grown in importance as a field that influences the growth of the country's economy. The key benefits of tourism are the production of income and the development of employment. It is the most significant source of income for many regions and nations. . One reason for the growth of travel and tourism is the increase in the number of bleisure trips. Bleisure is a combination of business and leisure trips, and 72 percent of business travelers now include a leisure component in their business trips. Bleisure is a mix of business and leisure travel, with 72 percent of business travelers now having a leisure aspect in their itinerary. Tourism's positive and negative impacts will characterize employment prospects and enhance an area's income. Many developed countries seek to develop tourism to enhance the quality of services they offer to their tourists. Pakistan's tourism sector is underdeveloped. The current geopolitical situation in the world does not cause the tourism industry to flourish as it does in Malaysia, Thailand, and India. Tourists are afraid to visit Pakistan because of law and order issues and a hostile climate, which is hampering the industry's development. The city of Lahore has launched a sight-seeing bus service for visitors and residents. However, there is a shortage of adequate path distribution and service supply. There are numerous tourist attraction points in Punjab Province's capital city that require proper maintenance in the form of facilities and information. Lahore has tourism potential, which can be developed properly to draw both local and foreign visitors. It would eventually create employment opportunities for people living near tourist attractions, boosting the region's economy. This bus service travels quickly enough to allow for adequate ventilation .We have suggested three routes for sightseeing buses in Lahore: Orange, Purple, and Green. Each route has its own identification, such as the Orange route for historical sites, the Purple route for recreational sites, and the Green route for shopping pace. These three routes cover all of Lahore's major sites: Route 1 covers all of Lahore's historical sites and provides an opportunity to see Lahore in a new light on a one-day trip; Route 2 covers the recreational sites of Lahore and provides an opportunity to see Lahore in a new light on a one-day trip; and Route 3 is unique in that it covers the man made sites and shopping malls. In the event that these roads are blocked due to an emergency, alternate routes will be provided to make the trip more enjoyable, safe, and exciting. This research will be carried out in order to improve the tourism industry in Lahore, which will aid in revenue generation and the development of a friendly, amenity rich climate. Our research subject is sightseeing in Lahore. “Sightseeing Lahore” TDCP's that is first Double Decker Bus Service in Pakistan (Tourism Development Corporation of Punjab). The project provides tours of spectacular Lahore via open roof Double Decker Bus. While inside the bus, you will be captivated by the city's vibrant colors, buzzing bazaars, rich heritage and culture, modern architecture, and Mughal spirit. But don't only take our word for it; come and see for yourself how our world-class offerings will benefit you. The project has received a resoundingly positive reception from both domestic and international visitors.

    (UMT Lahore, 2018) ZUHAA TARIQ
    De-addiction center is a thesis project that explores the possibilities and affects that design, and its relation to nature and therapeutic environment, has on healing and the overall health of the inhabitants of a structure. In times of sickness and injury, time is spent with professionals in environments that are meant to repair our health in a timely, painless, sensible manner. These environments can be designed to promote a healthy mind and body through a strong connection between the built environment and its natural surroundings. There are many factors that are involved in our body’s biological recovery time, and many of these biological responses are induced through our emotions, which can be controlled in some degree by the spaces that surround us. The spaces we inhabit and their exposure to natural elements, such as sunlight and fresh air, contribute to a patient’s recovery process. Successful completion of this project will give a better understanding of what people with dependencies need in order to recover from physical and psychological impacts in the most efficient, effective manner possible, also encouragement to take a control over their addictive stance. Health care facilities are often times associated as being sterile, artificial environments. By designing spaces that are mentally stimulating, accomplished in part, through their connections with nature, a more holistic level of well¬being can be maintained for the users.

    Rainwater harvesting system for improving water management
    (UMT Lahore, 2019) Muhammad Asfand Yar; Junaid ul Hassan; Usman Qasim
    Development relies heavily on the availability of the fresh water resources. Insufficient water supply hinders economic development as low-grade water. As Karachi is facing major water crises, soon Lahore is also going to face same issue as the ground water depletion carries out rapidly, and there are no other resources for fresh water. Rainwater is available in many regions, but often it is only discharged into drainage system or the nearest river instead of being utilized. Especially in urban areas like Lahore, where fresh water demand is steadily increasing, rainwater management becomes a crucial parameter for sustainable urban environment. Rainwater, if discharged into the drainage systems, interacts with solid waste and becomes liquid waste itself and its hazardous for environment. However, the negative effects of area sealing and rainwater drainage, especially decreased groundwater recharge and increasing flood risks in expanding urban environments. The thesis is based on the technique of rainwater harvesting as a source of water resource management to fulfill the water demand. This model is applied on the Sukh Chayn Gardens Lahore, Sukh Chayn Gardens has installed Stormwater Drainage System for the collection of rainwater. In this thesis rainwater harvesting models has been proposed on both plot and neighborhood level. And adopted different techniques for rainwater harvesting for both scales. Further on the analysis has been done for the cost of installation material at both levels to seen that the model is suitable for urban environment or not.

    Assessment of infrastructure facilities in public low income housing scheme
    (UMT Lahore, 2019) ZUNAIRA ZAFAR
    Urbanization has emerged because of the intensification of the population in most cities of the world. Lahore, being the fourteenth most populous city of the world, has gone through major physical spatial expansion due to a continuous population increase. The study is an attempt to find out an answer to the issues of the provision of infrastructural facilities in Wafaqi colony a public low-income housing scheme of Lahore. When housing and urbanization problems are linked, a critical problem emerges in providing housing for the urban poor, and the debate has changed over whether to deplore urban housing due to the mushrooming of slums where living conditions are very low and sanitation is almost non-existent due to which infectious diseases are spreading. Housing Satisfaction assessments have formed the basis of housing improvements aimed at enhancing residents’ quality of life and to shape the factors worsening housing quality by fair distribution of resources across all income levels. Measuring the satisfaction level of residents is an important indicator for the present and future success of any housing scheme. Residents’ concerns and opinions can be used to assess the quality of low-income housing and as a benchmark to quality improvement. ii To find the solution to such questions it was therefore essential to analyze the existing conditions of infrastructure facilities in the colony and to study the satisfaction level of residents. The study mainly focused on the information obtained through available literature and data collected through physical surveys to assess these parameters. Residential neighborhood analysis was done to determine residents ' level of satisfaction. Yeh, S.H.K. Homes for the people: a study of tenants’ views on public housing in Singapore has been used for measuring the level of satisfaction. The findings suggest that a proper systemic process for infrastructure provision in low-income housing schemes is urgently needed. The concerned officials of the colony should develop monitoring systems for the continuous evaluation and assessment of the infrastructure.

    (UMT Lahore, 2019) REHAN ATTIQ NAWAZ; EHSAN UL HAQ
    This report is about designated topic that is assessment of integrated rural development and it’s way forward in Pakistan so as to strengthen rural urban linkages to reduce disparities among rural and urban areas. It has been prepared by using the appropriate research methods or techniques of qualitative research which includes further research types, research design, conceptual framework, data collection approaches, etc. This report consists of its title describing the main idea of the research i.e. exploring integrated rural development linkages & their potential in Pakistan. Rural development plays a key role in country’s economy if it gets significant attention by the government and non-government sectors. Integrated rural development doesn’t mean development of agricultural sector. However, it’s a composite of agricultural development and other allied factors such as facilitating non-farming activities, introducing the “ease of doing business” like environment so as to initiate rural entrepreneurship with directly impact livelihood of rural residents. As neglecting rural areas in policies & plans, it has significantly negative impacts on their residents as well as at overall living environment and this phenomenon is inversely proportional to the rural urban migration, more attention towards development of rural area depending upon their potential can reduce regional disparities.

    an assessment study of market-vibrancy
    (UMT Lahore, 2019) Muhammad Talha; Zubair Hussain
    Historically urban spaces have validated their importance as the identity of our cities but in this age of transition, our urban spaces are constantly being degraded due to different factors like haphazard development and fraternization of historic and modern development. One victim of the decreasing quality of our urban spaces is urban markets. In this study, the purpose is to assess vibrancy of different markets of Lahore i.e. G1 Market M.A.J.T, Main Market Gulberg and Kareem Market A.I.T and to compare these three markets to find which market is more vibrant. In this study, the factors which contribute to vibrancy and methods to assess vibrancy are identified from the literature. Data is collected from field by field surveys. For analysis, weighted average index is being calculated for each factor and data is standardized on a scale of 0 to 1. Vibrancy of each market is compared using weighted average index and results are generated on the basis of these analysis. Results from this study have shown that all three markets have good vibrancy score. Comparatively Main Market Gulberg is more vibrant than G1 Market M.A.J.T and Kareem Market A.I.T. Both G1 Market M.A.J.T and Kareem Market A.I.T are equally vibrant. But there is still room for enhancement of vibrancy in these three markets. Main Market Gulberg is comparatively more vibrant than G1 Market M.A.J.T and Kareem Market A.I.T.

    COVID has spilled over to all the countries, sectors, and socioeconomic groups of the communities in all over the world. Among all, some groups bear a larger chunk of burden. In particular, those workers and economic units in the informal economy are likely to face disproportionate impacts in terms of job and income losses. (Chacaltana, Lee, & Vanhuynegem, 2020). Most of the economic activities are carried out in informal ways in Lahore. Due to which a lot of problems occur for people and also for informal setup. Most of the people associated with informal economy belong to lower middle class and meet their daily needs on daily wages. Majority of the respondents in study area could hardly meet their needs before COVID-19 such as food expenses, education expense, and housing and travel expenses. Also, they face issues because of improper markets space allocated by the concerned authority in the city. The situation became worst during COVID-19. As, to contain the spread of the virus, the government of Pakistan imposed complete lockdown due to which it is difficult to carry out any kind of informal economic activities. During lockdown economic activities were halted because of impaired mobility, shortage of supply and decreased demand. Because of informality and no documentation government faced issues in taking care of lower middle class people. Although government initiated some relief programs to support the informal sector but most of the respondents claimed that those programs did not benefit them. Respondents showed low trust level in the relief measures taken by the government in response to COVID- 19.

    Governance Challenges amid COVID-19: Exploring the Performance of Solid Waste Management Sector in Lahore
    (UMT Lahore, 2020) Saliha Attique; Aqeel Mahmood Ahmad Qureshi
    As per the senses of 2017, Pakistan’s population turns out to be 207.8 million making it 6th most populous country in the world. Its rate of increase in population is 2.40 percent and it is highest in South Asia. With rapid population increase and urbanization, annual waste generation is expected to increase by 70% from 2016 levels to 3.40 billion tonnes in 2050. The waste is either thrown into open places or is burned in low income countries. Effective waste management is expensive, they might consume upto 50% of municpal budget. An efficient, sustainable, and socially supported system should be integrated. To manage solid waste safely has become a serious concern because it ultimately effects public health. Lahore is one of the largest metropolitan cities of Pakistan since independence. In many areas, solid waste is simply dumped in outskirts of city. As like developed countries, it is the need of time to think of green ways to reduce or reuse the waste. The research is about solid waste management, its types and international practices of SWM specifically domestic waste. It focuses on how the companies are putting efforts in SWM sector in Lahore and what are there institutional hierarchies of those companies. The COVID-19 situations in Pakistan is also discussed briefly. Moreover, its impacts on different sectors specifically SMW is keenly observed. Waste Management is one of the most important sanitary barriers to prevent dissemination of illnesses and diseases. It is important to recall that the continuity of the waste services is not only for municipal waste but also for hazardous industrial and healthcare waste. The companies that are working for waste management are always up for cleaning cities in their own domains. The companies like Abroo should be encouraged so more people thing about inaugurating businesses with such intentions on public and private sector. Further, the sanitary workers are performing well but they have lack of understanding against such pandemics.

    (UMT Lahore, 2020) Nouman Abid; Mujtaba Hussain
    Lahore city is the most urbanized city. The Lahore city includes the highest population with biggest commercial markets. We do literature study to identify the factors effecting the traffic congestion and analyzed solutions to overcome these factors through innovative ideas. The traffic is increasing day by day with growing population. The Congestion is increasing day by day and our study includes that how to overcome the traffic congestion through following factors effecting the traffic congestion. We followed the proper methodology systematically to do our study in an efficient way. This thesis includes the brief detail study of main commercial markets at the Lahore city. Major commercial markets for our study are Moon Market, Barkat market, Liberty market, and Delhi Bazar market. These markets influence badly and cause traffic congestion. Detailed study of four markets including their land uses and road inventories. We have worked under the scope of our defined factors. We do analysis through expert opinions our survey is done by using survey source (Google forms). Our results are in the form of charts with percentages, then we select those factors which have more positive impacts on traffic congestion. This report also includes the Likert scale weightage to rate the factor, which is more crucial for controlling the traffic congestion. Different markets face different issues like first discussing about the moon market, the moon market has no pedestrian paths and pedestrian bridges on main roads. While Delhi bazar market has no pedestrian paths, no regular parking places. The liberty market area faces traffic congestion during peak hours because congestion charges are not implemented at this location. The study includes brief discussions about these study areas. Overall, the concept of ITS system will incorporate free flow movement of traffic and reduce the traffic congestion. We give solutions by proposing different innovative solutions at our study area. The moon market includes the pedestrian bridge with pedestrian paths. The Barkat market area includes the proposal of ITS system. The Liberty market includes the proposal of traffic congestion charges to overcome the growing traffic. The Delhi bazar market includes the proposal of Pedestrian paths and parking stand. The traffic congestion should be controlled ta Lahore city if we segregate the vehicle and non-vehicle traffic, and through implementation of innovative proposal we should overcome the growing traffic.
