The Consortium for Development Policy Research (CDPR) and the International Growth Centre (IGC) hosted a roundtable session of the second Lahore Policy Exchange on “Lahore Futures: A Normative Lahore?”. The session was held on the 21st October at CDPR, Lahore.
The first session of Lahore Futures explored the inequality of development in Lahore and how this inequality manifests itself in town planning, architecture, and the environmental impacts of urban development. It served as a scoping session to identify other aspects of Lahore’s future.
The second session of the Lahore Futures policy exchange series aimed towards identifying the tenets of an ideal city of Lahore focusing on aspects of city financing, public transport and air quality. The goal was to pinpoint challenges and to take actionable solutions to tackle these problems in a sustainable and productive manner with the goal to build a normative city.
