A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city.
However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks
such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome
these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city. In 1959, a
commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The
advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a
report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of
Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to
be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such
as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national
interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960,
the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This
master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring
Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's
capital and would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would
remain the regional centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the
national park, was planned to provide space for education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-
free atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant
public buildings, and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a
superb example of good urban planning.
118. Why was a commission founded in 1959?
A. to overcome the drawbacks of Karachi as a capital city
B. to create a new capital city for Pakistan
C. to look into possibilities of the locations for a new capital city
D. to appoint an advisor for planning the new capital city
119. How many places were suggested for the new capital city in the initial reports?
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
120. Which of the following factors was NOT considered when choosing the location for the new
capital city?
A. the climate and the state of the existing buildings
B. transportation and the availabilities of water
C. economic issues
D. issues of pational interest
121. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Islamabad would serve cultural needs.
B. Rawalpindi would be the regional centre with industry and commerce.
C. The national park would provide space for agriculture.
D. Islamabad would play the most important role of all.

B. The disappearance of the old capital city of Pakistan.
C. The reasons why Islamabad became the new capital city of Pakistan.
D. The choice and development of Islamabad as the modern capital of Pakistan.

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA
Urban planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities. Today
urban populations are increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting enormous
pressure on the environment. For this reason, the type of urban planning found in Curitiba,
in southern Brazil, is more important than ever.
Curitiba is a fine example of how urban planning can work. This has not always been the
case, however. At one time, Curitiba faced the same problems as many other cities all over
the world, namely overcrowding, pollution, and an increased demand for services,
transport, and housing. How, then, did Curitiba address these problems?
By the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants from
countries such as Japan, Syria, and Lebanon came to work in agriculture and industry.
These people needed both housing and transportation. Curitiba's leaders realised that it
was not sensible to deal with these problems separately. Consequently, they employed a
French planner and architect, Alfred Agache, to find an overall solution.
Agache studied all aspects of the problem. He designed a scheme which gave priority to
public services such as sanitation and public transport. At the same time, the scheme
included centres which helped both community life and commerce to develop, and reduced
traffic congestion. This was the first scheme to address several problems of growing cities
at the same time. Unfortunately, some parts of his plan were not completed. The result, as
described below, was that his scheme only served Curitiba for another 20 years.
By the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants, so the
city had to rethink its needs. In order to do this, the mayor put together a team of
architects and town planners led by Jaime Lerner. This team produced the Curitiba Master
Plan. This consisted of taking Agache's original plan and adding wide, high-speed roads
which crossed the smaller streets. Their proposals also included plans to minimise urban
growth, reduce city centre traffic, and preserve the city's historic district. It is clear that the
Curitiba Master Plan was one of the first attempts to integrate all aspects of city planning.
This integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as
Curitiba's population grew to almost one million inhabitants. Environmental facilities were
added, such as a recycling programme for household waste, and parks and 'green' spaces
were protected from development. However, good transportation remained central to the
planning.
Good transportation still remains a priority, together with the needs for jobs. A growing
population needs employment, so business parks and centres have been added to
encourage new small businesses. All these changes will continue be the population of
Curitiba increases, but its city planners are continually searching for solutions to the
problems.
123. What aspect of development does urban planning NOT deal with?
A. physical development B. technical development
C. economic development. D. social development
124. How many problems are mentioned in the passage as commonly shared by many cities?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
125. What was the main cause of the increase in Curitiba's population Delore the 1940s?
A. immigrants from rural areas B. workers in business park
C. immigrants from neighbouring countries D. immigrants from Japan, Syria,

and Lebanon
126. In what ways was Agache’s approach different?
A. His scheme gave priority to public services.
B. His scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to
develop.
C. His scheme reduced traffic congestion.
D. His scheme addressed several problems at the same time.
127. What did the Curitiba Master Plan do?
A. added better road system B. reduced urban growth
C. prohibit city-centre traffic D. all of the above
128. What was new about the approach to the planning in the 1980s?
A. It was an integrated approach.
B. Environmental facilities were introduced.
C. Good transportation was the key.
D. It provided housing for one million inhabitants.
129. The new thing about the current approach to urban planning is ____.
A. new small businesses B. good transport
C. the need for jobs D. the appearance of business parks
