From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia Islamabad (help·info)
(Urdu: Pashto: اسلام آباد) Islām ābād (Meaning "Abode of Islam") is the
capital of Pakistan, and is the tenth largest city in Pakistan with an
estimated population of 1.74 million in 2009.[1] The Rawalpindi/Islamabad
Metropolitan Area is the third largest in Pakistan, with a population of
over 4.5 million inhabitants.[2]
Islamabad is located in the Pothohar Plateau in the north of the country,
within the Islamabad Capital Territory. The region has historically been a
part of the crossroads of Punjab and North-West Frontier Province, Margalla
pass being a gateway to the North-West Frontier Province.[3] The city was
built during the 1960s to replace Karachi as Pakistan's capital. However,
the capital was not moved directly from Karachi to Islamabad. It was first
shifted to Rawalpindi and then to Islamabad after all the developmental
works were finished.
Islamabad is one of the greenest and most well-planned cities of South
Asia.[4] According to a survey, Islamabad is considered the cleanest city in
Pakistan.[5] The city is well-organized and divided into different sectors
and zones. Islamabad was ranked as a Gamma world city in 2008.[6] The city
is home to Faisal Mosque, the largest mosque in South Asia and the sixth
largest mosque in the World. Islamabad has the highest literacy rate in
Pakistan.[7] The top ranked university in Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam University,
is located in Islamabad. The top two engineering universities in Pakistan,
Pakistan Institute of Engineering & Applied Sciences and National University
of Sciences and Technology are also located here.[8] Allama Iqbal Open
University in Islamabad is the world's second largest university by
enrollment.[9]
