Скачать или смотреть The other side of Islamabad’s beauty is living proof of the failure of institutions.

Islamabad is often hailed as one of the world's most beautiful capitals, famous for its lush greenery, the majestic Margalla Hills, and a meticulous master plan. But beneath this serene veneer lies a different, darker reality—one defined by institutional neglect and governance decay.
In this video, we pull back the curtain on the "city of dreams" to expose the systemic failures that are quietly eroding its foundation. From unplanned urban sprawl and the destruction of green belts for road expansions to the alarming rise of informal settlements and recurrent urban flooding, we explore how "beautiful Islamabad" is becoming a victim of its own administration.
Key Issues Covered:
Infrastructure Gaps: Why basic amenities like water supply and gas meters remain a luxury for many residents.
Environmental Degradation: The cost of rapid deforestation and climate change neglect.
Regulatory Failure: The rise of illegal housing schemes and the state's inability to protect public land.
Governance Vacuum: The impact of missing local government elections on the city's maintenance.
Is Islamabad still the "Clean and Green" capital we were promised, or has it become a cautionary tale of institutional breakdown?
