YOU ASKED, AND GKRP 2047 DELIVERED!
From 16 to 19 May 2026, the GKRP 2047 Open House welcomed participants from across Karachi to explore the findings and analysis on Karachi’s current situation and context. Taking the form of an exhibition, it provided an overview of the journey and the stakeholder engagement undertaken so far on developing the GKRP.
The findings were presented across a series of themes, including governance and institutions; economics, industry, investment, and PPPs; environment, disaster risk, and climate change; housing and katchi abadis; community facilities; growth and land use; transport and mobility; recreation, open space, and cultural heritage; energy and digital infrastructure; solid waste management; water supply; and sewage, wastewater, and drainage systems. These findings establish a baseline understanding of Karachi's current situation and identify key trends, challenges, and opportunities.
The event generated enthusiastic participation and meaningful discussion. Attendees shared their experiences, insights, and concerns, contributing valuable feedback through guided discussions with the project team, interactive notes placed on the exhibition boards, and numerous feedback forms. Together with the Situation Analysis, this feedback will help guide the next stage of the plan's development, including the formulation of its aims, objectives, goals, and long-term vision for Karachi.
We were honoured to meet so many of you and, most importantly, we are listening!
Many of you asked whether the boards presented during the Open House would be made publicly available. In line with the project's commitment to transparency, participation, and open access to information, the boards are now available on the project website (https://gkrp2047.com/boards2/) for everyone to explore.
We invite you to explore the website (www.gkrp2047.com) and continue following our platforms for project updates and future engagement opportunities.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
