Abstract
Urban population reflects dynamic trends in migration, industrialization, and economic opportunities within a city. This research explores into the urban population dynamics of Pakistan from 1951 to 2017, analyzing census data at the national, provincial, and city levels. Employing both the quantitative and qualitative methods, the study explores trends, patterns, and implications of urbanization as a result of increase in urban population. The urban population has more than doubled over the censuses, growing from 17.8% in 1951 to 36.3% in 2017. The steady, upward and increasing trend is observed over all the last six censuses from 1951 to 2017. Provinces exhibit varying degrees of urbanization, with Punjab consistently leading, followed by Sindh. Major cities, including Karachi and Lahore, have experienced substantial growth, emphasizing their role as urban centers. The findings underscore a nationwide trend of urbanization, urging tailored urban planning strategies for sustainable development.
