Sharing his vision to see more green spaces in Pakistan and see buildings here go as high as like in other cities across the world, Prime Minister (PM Imran Khan has said that they are in the process of making laws to make this possible.

The premier, in a tweet, said that as Pakistan is one of the most environmentally-threatened countries, it was his vision to see future buildings in the cities to rise vertically and allow more green spaces in Pakistan. "Avoiding large sprawling built-up areas will also allow easier provision of amenities to our urban dwellers," the PM wrote.

PM continued in another tweet that the country's arable land is being used by housing societies, which has grave consequences for the country's food security in the future. "Also, we are in the process of making laws to allow buildings, built to international safety standards, to go as high as in other cities across the world," he added.
