    PTC's being built in Karachi. Karachi's not so bad. My guess is for promotion of tourism and making the land more investor friendly. Big buildings are cool.

    There are pictures that some of our Local Pakistanis have gone and taken of the construction work. So I'm guessing they ARE working on it.

    I myself went to Multan road to snap pictures of Bahria Town in Lahore.

    Jolly good, not bad for Pakistan. Are those architects / structural consultants from Pakistan or abroad, like the ones designing the worlds tallest Burj Tower in Dubai?
