Lahore to Get a Private Sector Technology Park
The Area Development Plan rules that were recently promulgated by Lahore Development Authority (LDA) are gaining traction.
These rules have allowed developers to plan innovative large projects along the main arteries of Lahore, which is curbing down on illegal and unsightly strip development that has been seen otherwise in the metropolitan so far.
In a recent meeting of the LDA governing body, two projects of 101 Kanals and 88 Kanals were approved.
Zaamin Group from Lahore – developers of a private housing scheme called Zaamin City – has announced plans to set up three Technology Parks. These will be constructed on approximately 150 Kanals each and will help accomplish the government’s objectives of higher IT exports.
