Karachi vs Islamabad

Introduction

Karachi vs Islamabad both are clearly two of Pakistan’s most popular places. The capital vs. the largest city, the political center vs. the economic center, the north vs. the south, the mountains vs. the sea. Islamabad and Karachi have quite distinct lifestyles. Having lived in both places, I have a unique perspective. Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan and is located within the Islamabad Capital Territory. The Pakistani federal government is in charge of this territory. It is Pakistan’s seventh most populous city.

Karachi vs Islamabad (Capital vs. the Largest)

I have visited Islamabad 2021 it is a nice experience. No pollution, no traffic on the roads, everywhere greenery, it seems like you’ve been transported to a different world. Islamabad is a very beautiful place cool and calm. On the other hand, Karachi is ‘busy’ is always bustling and making ‘noise’. In Islamabad, you may see the four seasons (Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring) in all their glory. In Karachi, you can experience several seasons such as summer, slightly less summer, and slightly less summer. Karachi’s weather lacks the diversity and beauty of Islamabad’s. In Islamabad, a rainy day is just another day, however in Karachi, a rainy day is cause for celebration.

Awkward Or Artful

Islamabad Artful

Islamabad is a lush green beautiful city with mountains surrounding it. It has several art festivals and artists under its belt. Altogether Islamabad is an artful city.

Karachi Awkward

Karachi is a metropolitan city along with considered the business hub of Pakistan. But at the same time, it is a bit awkward due to its unplanned expansion and overpopulation. Karachi falls under the category of awkward due to its weak infrastructure.

Sudden or Gradual

Islamabad Gradual

Islamabad is a calm city with beautiful and broad roads and It is a planned city and expanding gradually with projects like Bahria town, Fazaia, and Eighteen; hence, it falls under the category of “gradual”

Karachi Sudden

Karachi is the fastest expanding megacity of Pakistan. It would not be wrong to say that it falls under the category of sudden expansion. The population is constantly growing and people across the country visit and stay at this business hub to make their lives better by getting employment and business opportunities.

Dull or Exciting

Karachi Dull

Karachi is the most populated and dense city of Pakistan. At the same time it is the most revenue-generating city but due to large industries/ factories in the city, it has less greenery which makes it a visually dull city.

Islamabad Exciting

Islamabad is visually an exciting city due to its green landscape and clean infrastructure. It has minimal to no factories which makes it less polluted.

Damaging or Beautiful

Karachi Damaging

I hate to say it but there is no denying the fact that Karachi is deteriorating in this regard. The enormous and ever-growing population of 25 million has really taken its toll on the city.

There are many broken roads which are causing numerous problems for residents. Islamabad, on the other hand, is very well built and planned city. While Karachi contributes majorly to the GDP, It also contributes to damaging the environment and it also has the highest street crime rate throughout Pakistan.

Islamabad Beautiful

Islamabad is a beautiful and green city it is less populated compared to Karachi. And also had lower pollution due to its green landscape. Islamabad’s peaceful and pleasant environment is ultimately what distinguishes it the calm, clean atmosphere is ideal for ensuring mental well-being.
