  • LAHORE IN THE 21ST CENTURY

    Analysing the evolution of Lahore’s social organization, culture and ideologies since Pakistan’s independence in 1947, this book explores how social and cultural changes affect the social economy, spatial structure and urban environment.

In addition, the author proposes a complementary programme for social development and civic ethos.
