A highly original history of the design and development of Pakistan's capital city; one of the most iconic and ambitious urban reconstruction projects of the 1950s and 1960s. Balancing archival research with fresh theoretical insights, Markus Daechsel surveys the project's successes and failures, evaluating Islamabad's place in post-war international development.
