This book provides an integrated view of each of the four provinces of Pakistan, considered the four micro regions, owing to their relative internal homogeneity and distinctiveness from the adjacent regions. Each chapter of the book deals with a specific province, its physical environment, historic antecedents, contemporary social and economic organization and potential for future growth.
This volume presents an in-depth study of Punjab, stressing on its transformation from a barren pastureland to rich, fertile agricultural land. The mineral-rich western provinces of Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are subjects of focused study. The penultimate part of the book is a regional study of Sindh, evaluating the role of Indus in the economy of the province, and the contribution of Karachi as a financial and commercial center. It also outlines the planning and development of the federal capital, Islamabad, a symbol of pride and aspiration of the people of Pakistan.
The book would be of immense academic value to students, researchers and teachers interested in area studies and regional planning. With a descriptive analysis of the country’s physical and social characteristics, it would also be a great source of information for professionals working in the tourism sector.
