The project required physical and socio-economic surveys and involved the preparation of two concept proposals that showed land-use and zoning, roads and parking spaces, open spaces, buildings character and height and the project's phasing. This massive complex, also called "The City Centre, Karachi would be the first integrated development in Karachi.
