Item Rainwater harvesting system for improving water management(UMT Lahore, 2019) Muhammad Asfand Yar; Junaid ul Hassan; Usman QasimDevelopment 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.

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.Item An assessment study of environmental disparity in urban villages: a case study of lahore(UMT Lahore, 2019) Syed Shabeeh Haider Tirmazi; Hafiz Ameer HamzaThe study is our final thesis of the Bachelor of Science in City and Regional Planning.

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.
