Sector Planning Model Islamabad
Islamabad was developed as a planned capital using a structured sector system. Its urban form combines residential sectors, commercial centers, major avenues, green spaces and access to the Margalla Hills within a clear planning framework.
How the sector model works
The city is organized into defined sectors connected through a hierarchy of avenues and local roads. Each sector is intended to balance housing with neighborhood services, commercial areas and open space.
Structured Sectors
Defined urban blocks create a clear and legible city pattern.
Road Hierarchy
Major avenues connect sectors while local roads serve neighborhoods.
Green Integration
Parks, green belts and natural landscape remain part of the planning identity.
