From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia Karachi (help·info)
(Urdu: کراچی, Sindhi: ڪراچي) is the largest city, main seaport and the
financial capital of Pakistan, and the capital of the province of Sindh.
With a city population of 15.5 million, Karachi is one of the world's
largest cities,[4] 13th largest urban agglomeration[5] and the 20th largest
metropolitan area in the world.[6] It is Pakistan's premier centre of
banking, industry, and trade. Karachi is home to Pakistan's largest
corporations, including those that are involved in textiles, shipping,
automotive industry, entertainment, the arts, fashion, advertising,
publishing, software development and medical research. The city is a major
hub of higher education in South Asia and the wider Islamic world.[7]
Karachi is ranked as a Beta world city.[8][9]
Karachi enjoys its prominent position because of its geographical location
on a bay, making it the financial capital of the country. It is one of the
fastest growing cities in the world. It was the original capital of Pakistan
until the construction of Islamabad and is the location of the Port of
Karachi and Port Bin Qasim, one of the region's largest and busiest ports.
After the partition of India and the independence of Pakistan, the city's
population increased dramatically when hundreds of thousands of migrants
from India, East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) and other parts of South Asia
came to settle in the city.
