Bahria Town Karachi

Bahria Town Karachi is a privately owned gated suburb just off the M-9 Motorway northeast of Karachi, Pakistan. The suburb is being developed by the Bahria Town Group, and occupies over 46,000 acres (72 sq mi; 19,000 ha). Construction started in 2014 and will continue.

The community includes the Grand Jamia Mosque, which is planned to be the world's third largest, and the Rafi Cricket Stadium, the country's largest, designed by GMW Architects. Bahria Town has the Danzoo which is the largest zoo in Karachi. It has Bahria Adventura which is the largest theme park in Karachi. It has multiple schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, parks, monuments, cinemas and shopping malls. The community is divided by the 25-kilometre-long (16 mi), 400-foot-wide (120 m), 18-lane, Jinnah Avenue. The community will be energy independent with a coal-fired and an LNG-powered electricity generation plant, in partnership with K-Electric. It is also home to a 36-hole United States Golf Association standard golf course.

The community consists of over 60 precincts and is planned to house around one million people. The town will be connected to I. I. Chundrigar Road by a Karachi Metrobus route in the future. In 2019, Bahria Town Karachi demanded unplanned 35% development charges, which were later inferred for an unknown period.

The Malir Expressway is a new inter-city highway being built from district south Karachi, all the way up to the M-9 motorway. This new 39 km highway will facilitate traffic from with in the city of Karachi, to the motorway and Bahria Town Karachi. This inter-city high will have multiple interchanges within the city, and will make quick access to Bahria Town a possibility. With the current given estimated, this will cut down driving time to Bahria town by almost 40 minutes. What use to take 1 hour 10 minutes, will only take 30 minutes. Phase 1 of this project is expected to be opened by January 20th, 2025, and phase 2 to be in operation by 2026.
