Hayatabad, Modern residential suburb in Peshawar District, Pakistan.
Hayatabad is a modern residential suburb in Peshawar District organized into seven numbered phases, each containing sectors labeled A through H with wide roads and planted areas throughout. The layout follows a planned grid pattern where each section connects to the next, creating a systematic and orderly neighborhood.
The Peshawar Development Authority initiated construction in 1977 and completed the suburb in 1985, naming it in honor of Governor Hayat Sherpao. The project emerged as a planned residential development to accommodate the growing population of the region.
The neighborhood houses multiple schools and universities that serve both Pakistani families and Afghan communities living in the area. These educational institutions shape daily routines and create a mixed environment where different groups interact and build connections.
The area connects to major roads through three routes to Jamrud Road and one link to Ring Road, with the TransPeshawar bus terminal at the western end. Getting around by public transport is straightforward for visitors arriving from different parts of the city.
The suburb borders former Tribal Areas near Khyber Pass, making it a strategic location for travel between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This proximity to the frontier gives the neighborhood a distinctive geopolitical position in the region.
