Defining Karachi


9/42


IntroductionPakistan's cities are expanding much faster than the overall population. At

independence in 1947, many refugees from India settled in urban areas. In the 1950s,more than one-half of the residents of several cities in Sindh and Punjab weremuhajirs (migrants). Some refugee colonies were eventually recognized as cities intheir own right.

Between 1951 and 1981, the urban population quadrupled. The annual urban growthrate during the 1950s and 1960s was more than 5 percent. This figure droppedslightly in the 1970s to 4.4 percent. Between 1980 and early 1994, it averaged about4.6 percent. By early 2004, about 42 percent of all Pakistanis lived in urban areas,with 23 percent of the total population living in three cities of over 1 millioninhabitants each--Lahore, Faisalabad, and Karachi.

The key reason for migration to urban areas has been the limited opportunity foreconomic advancement and mobility in rural areas. The economic and politicalcontrol that local landlords exercise in much of the countryside has led to thissituation.

The urban migrant is almost invariably a male. He retains his ties with his village, andhis rights there are acknowledged long after his departure. At first, the migration isfrequently seen as a temporary expedient, a way to purchase land or pay off a debt.Typically, the migrant sends part of his earnings to the family he left behind andreturns to the village to work at peak agricultural seasons. Even married migrants

usually leave their families in the village when they first migrate. The decision tobring wife and children to the city is thus a milestone in the migration process.

As cities have grown, they have engulfed surrounding villages, bringing agriculturistsinto the urban population. Many of these farmers commute to urban jobs from theiroriginal homes. The focus of these individuals' lives remains their family and fellowvillagers. Similarly, migrants from rural areas who have moved to the cities stay inclose touch with relatives and friends who have also moved, so their loyalties reflectearlier patterns. The Pakistani city tends to recreate the close ties of the ruralcommunity.

Pakistani cities are diverse in nature. The urban topology reflects the varied politicalhistory within the region. Some cities dating from the medieval era, such as Lahoreand Multan, served as capitals of kingdoms or small principalities, or they werefortified border towns prior to colonial rule. Other pre-colonial cities, such asPeshawar, were trading centers located at strategic points along the caravan route.Some cities in Sindh and Punjab centered on cottage industries, and their trade rivaledthe premier European cities of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Under colonial rule, many of the older administrative cities declined. Where theBritish located a trading post (factory) near an existing administrative center, the city

was typically divided into old and new, or European, sections. New towns and citiesalso emerged, especially in the expanding canal colonies, Faisalabad (formerlyLyallpur) is such a city. The town of Karachi expanded rapidly to become a center ofrail and sea transport as a consequence of British rule and as consequence of theopening of massive irrigation projects and the increase in agricultural exports. Thus,Pakistan's two largest cities, Karachi and Lahore, illustrate how differing regional andsociocultural histories have shaped the variations among Pakistan's cities.

Karachi absorbed tens of thousands ofmuhajirs following independence in 1947,grew nearly two and one-half times from 1941 to 1951, and nearly doubled again inthe following decade. Karachi is by far Pakistan's largest city and is still rapidly

growing.

Karachi's rapid growth has been directly related to the overall economic growth in thecountry. The partition of British India into the independent states of Pakistan andIndia prompted an influx into Pakistan of Muslim merchants from various parts of thenew, Hindu-majority India. These merchants, whom sociologist Hamza Alavi refersto assalariat, had money to invest and received unusual encouragement from thegovernment, which wanted to promote the growth of the new state.

Karachi at first developed in isolation. Relatively few people from outlying areaswere engaged in running its factories, and the city had little impact on Pakistan's

cultural fabric. But when the economies of southern Sindh and parts of Punjab beganto expand, large numbers of migrants flooded the city in search of work (generallylow-paying jobs), and Karachi become the hub of the nation's commerce. The city,however, also has serious problems. It has the poorest slums in the country, and haspreviously suffered serious interethnic conflict as a consequence of the influx ofmany competing groups.
