Walking in Golra/E-11 Islamabad (Pakistan)

Islamabad was planned as a low-density
administrative city. Curiously, a Greek
architect C. A. Doxiadis, was hired for the
purpose. He operated as a development
consultant more than an architect.

Doxiadis planned Islamabad on a grid-iron pattern. The fundamental grid of 2000 x
2000 meters divides the city into 84 sectors, the other is the ‘natural’ grid created by ravines flowing through the entire site area.

Each sector has five sub-sectors – four residential and one commercial (Markaz), which is encircled by auto routes with pedestrian networks within the sector.
Each of the sector would be low slung and basically comprised of single-family homes on an American suburban model.
