FEATURES OF URBANIZATION
Urban areas are major contributors to the national economy, generating and diffusing growth across country. Pattern of urbanization across provinces exhibits large variation. More than half of the total population of the country is clustered in and around eight cities i.e., Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Hyderabad, Gujranwala and Peshawar. About 20% of the urban population is under 25 years of age.
