There are several root causes for this sprawl and one of the major ones is strip commercialization, under utilization of land parcels and overwhelming low density residential. The project aims to promote Nodular Development, which would be based on live/work/relax paradigm. In which all the facilities would be near to living and working space which would be a high rise mixed used development. There is dire need in Karachi for concentrated large scale development project that control sprawl through developing underutilized parcels of land, which would regenerate city center through attracting capitol in a large scale development and economic activity. This thesis is also an attempt to change the housing paradigm in DHA phase VIII and Sahilextension, which will make this phase more live able and attractive for newcomers in this phase.
