Beautiful but Dull  by Vikrum    13th Oct 08
Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan located at the backdrop of Margalla Hills at the northern end of Pothowar Plateau.Its the government headquarters so the Parliament,Supreme Court,Shariat,Embassies all are situated here.Islamabad is well planned ,it has very wide roads,green belts,well designed buildings,parks & gardens but its not a widespread/evenly sread city.Most of the important sectors and commercial building are located on either side of the road so in a simpler sense its just a long stretch of road with commercial and residential activity on both the sides and the sectors at its corners are totally isolated from others.Overall the life here is dull and bore but there are some great tourist attractions like the Shah Faisal Mosque which is beautiful and the sunset view of Islamabad from the hill top of Pir-Sua-Ha.

islamabad  by Sunil    23rd May 08
Islāmābād, city and capital of Pakistan, in northern Pakistan. Islāmābād, or “City of Peace”, lies at the foot of the Margalla Hills, on the Potwar Plateau, near Rāwalpindi. A planned city, Islāmābād was built to replace the former Pakistani capital, Karāchi, which was deemed too distant from the nation’s heartland. The city is administered directly by the federal government as the Islāmābād Capital Territory. In 1959 the site of Islāmābād was chosen to replace Karāchi as the capital of Pakistan. Constantinos A. Doxiadis and other internationally known urban planners and architects were commissioned to design the new city. Among those who contributed to the city’s design were Gio Ponti, Edward Durell Stone, and Louis I. Kahn. Construction began in 1961, and an interim capital was established at Rāwalpindi, located just 14 km (8.7 mi) southwest of Islāmābād.
