Abstract: According To Leading Pakistani Demographers And Social Scientists, Unofficial Estimates Place The Country�S Urban Population Between 50 And 70 Percent. As The Fastest Urbanizing Country In South Asia, Pakistan Has A Potentially Fleeting Opportunity To Harness Its Cities� Potential As Engines Of Growth. Unfortunately, Pakistan�S Rapid Urbanization Has Instead Been Accompanied By A Myriad Of Problems, Including Poor Health Outcomes, Extreme Poverty, Overburdened Public Services, Inadequate Housing Availability, And Urban Sprawl. These May Be Partially Responsible For The Country�S Slow And Declining Economic Growth.
