North Nazimabad Town

North Nazimabad Town is an administrative area in northern Karachi that covers a large residential expanse with gently rolling topography. The territory is divided into ten administrative units that organize neighborhoods and mixed-use zones throughout the district.

The area was developed as a planned residential district in the 1950s, replacing the earlier rural settlement pattern of villages and grazing lands. This transformation made the district part of Karachi's modern urban expansion.

The population of 920,476 residents includes a majority of Urdu speakers at 72 percent, followed by communities speaking Pashto, Saraiki, and Punjabi.

The area is easy to navigate by car thanks to its grid-based street layout that runs in organized patterns. Visitors should know this is primarily a residential district where most services are oriented toward residents rather than tourists.

Italian planners Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi designed the district with alphabetically arranged blocks, maintaining its original layout since 1958.
