Abstract:

The situation of urban Sindh was far from satisfactory as it lagged behind the national averages in human, social and economic development indicators. Government of Sindh established a process for province-wide urban development within short and long term framework. The Directorate of Urban Policy and Strategic Planning, Planning and Development Department was assigned the task with two-fold challenge, first the establishment of a development planning process by means of preparation of policies and plans; and secondly implementation of development projects in view of the enacted policies and plans.Sukkur city had been chosen as a case study. Development projects were identified with time frame in short and long term basis for 20 years. A comprehensive financial plan was developed with implementation strategy. The paper focused on the envisaged urban development strategy for Sukkur City as an outcome of SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis and visionary planning.
