Thus, enabling people to rise out of poverty and overcome social exclusion. Transport facilitates economic development by adding value to goods brought to markets and linking rural areas to cities and global supply chains.  Karachi—the largest city in Pakistan and the twelfth-largest city in the world and Pakistan's premier industrial and financial centre—has a major transport crisis. At independence in 1947 it had a fairly efficient public transport system. Since then, the State has made enormous investments to address its transport needs. Different models of public, private, and public-private partnerships were developed and implemented along with a railway system. Many of these initiatives met with considerable success to begin with, but ultimately fizzled out.  This book describes the pre-independence situation and subsequent initiatives while analysing the political, social, technical, and financial reasons for their failures and successes as well as the role of international financial institutions, and the judiciary. It also looks at the innovative responses of the informal private sector to the crisis, the pros and cons of present-day government planning, and the interests of various stakeholders in the transport drama that exists today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50999641571601,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999643865361,"sku":"NIN9780190706395","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0190706392.jpg?v=1751388833"},{"product_id":"search-for-shelter-book-arif-hasan-9780190702502","title":"The Search for Shelter","description":"The Search for Shelter sheds light on the global population living in slums, which has increased from 1 billion in 2014 to 1.6 billion in 2018. The book also looks at the impact of neoliberalism on urban planning, the manner of organization and the struggles of the communities affected by these processes, the cultural and political decision-making processes of the State, and their repercussions on the form and life of the city. In this book, Arif Hasan discusses the conflicts between ground realities, academic theory, governmental policies, and international interventions in the shelter sector. With the help of individual case studies, he goes into depths of the various issues faced, and in certain instances also gives recommendations to improve upon the situation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999680958737,"sku":"NIN9780190702502","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0190702508.jpg?v=1750842866"},{"product_id":"design-for-health-book-arif-hasan-9783031363184","title":"Design for Health","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe book provides new perspectives from leading researchers accentuating and examining the central role of the built environment in conceiving and implementing multifaceted solutions to the complex challenges of physical and mental health, revealing critical potentials for architecture and design to contribute in more informed and long-term ways to the urgent transition of our society.

It is Pakistan's only port and the major contributor to the country's economy. In addition, it is also a diverse city with its population politically divided along ethnic lines. These three factors make the urban land and that on the citys fringe a highly contested commodity: federal, provincial, and local land-owning agencies, corporate sector interests, formal and informal developers, international capital, and military cantonments compete for control and for extracting maximum value from it. The victims of this battle for turf and profits are the city's social and physical environment and its low and lower middle-income groups.   This book deals with the history, evolution, and present day realities around who owns land, its legal and illegal acquisition, land-use conversions and development, the actors involved and their relationship with each other and with the public at large, the often violent conflicts that take place in this process and the measures that can be taken to regulate the land market for the creation of a better urban environment and for providing homes to its less privileged.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734467342609,"sku":"NIN9780190708689","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780190708689.jpg?v=1763395701"},{"product_id":"unplanned-revolution-book-arif-hasan-9780199065905","title":"The Unplanned Revolution","description":"This book identifies past socio-economic conditions in the different ecological regions of Pakistan as viewed by the communities the author has worked or interacted with, present conditions, and emerging trends.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734587339025,"sku":"NIN9780199065905","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780199065905.jpg?v=1763396196"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-arif-hasan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
