Which is a Better Smart City? Lahore or Islamabad?

The Capital Smart City Islamabad and Smart City Lahore are private real estate housing projects located in

suburban Islamabad and Lahore, respectively. These smart cities are the first smart urban establishments

that are being developed in Pakistan. The concept of smart cities is being massively adapted worldwide.

These smart urban settlements are poised to deliver a technologically advanced and comfortable lifestyle

to their residents. In Pakistan, this is currently limited to housing schemes. However, in the whole world,

the local governments of the cities are working on plans to transform their whole cities to smart cities to

make the lives of residents easy and secure. So, which is better to invest? Islamabad Smart city or Lahore Smart City? The Capital smart city Islamabad or Lahore Smart City? Well, this is a very tricky question since both

societies are being developed by the same developers and on the same basic principles. Both have their

own set of features that are similar but do turn unique as well due to different topographies. Here are some

of the features and characteristics of both these housing schemes to help you make an informed decision

when you invest in them. 
The Developers of Smart Cities: 
The Capital Smart City and the Lahore smart city are being developed by the renowned HRL group

through their wholly owned business unit – Future Development Holdings Pakistan. The HRL group is

one of the richest and most experienced real estate companies of Pakistan that has developed and delivered

a myriad of real estate projects throughout Pakistan and abroad. For instance, the HRL not only

develops their own real estate projects but also has done it for some of the biggest real estate

conglomerates of the country like Bahria Town and the DHA.
Capital Smart City: 
The Capital Smart City Islamabad is one of the most futuristic and modern private real estate housing

projects located in the suburbs of the city. The location of Capital Smart City is one of the prime aspects

of this housing scheme. The Capital Smart City is located along the edges of Lahore – Islamabad motorway

and lies near Thallian Interchange. The Capital Smart City’s other side is located on the main Chakri Road

of Rawalpindi. This juxtaposition of Capital Smart City’s locale gives it an easy access to the urban hubs

of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The Capital smart city Islamabad’s location also enjoys close proximity to

the upcoming Rawalpindi Ring Road as well as the eastern corridor of the China and Pakistan Economic

Corridor. Like the Park View Islamabad NOC, the Capital Smart City Islamabad also has an NOC for planning and development of the housing society.

The Smart City Islamabad Payment Plan is one of the most affordable when compared to other real estate projects in the area. The Capital Smart

City is being developed as a state-of-the-art city that will have all the support and facilities that people

expect from a proper smart establishment. After looking at Park View City Development Updates, it seems that Capital Smart City is the main competitor of this housing scheme. 
Lahore Smart City

The Lahore Smart City is the second smart city of Pakistan and like Capital smart city Islamabad, is being developed by the HRL group. The HRL group is Pakistan’s number 1 real estate conglomerate that has delivered and completed many real estate projects throughout Pakistan. The most phenomenal thing about the Lahore Smart City is its location. The Lahore Smart City is located on the main Lahore By-pass road adjacent to the Kala Shah Kaku Interchange of GT Road N5. The location of the Lahore smart city on the main Lahore By-pass road will give its residents great and flawless access to the urban hubs of Lahore and the Lahore airport. Also, the Lahore – Islamabad motorway, The Lahore Sialkot Motorway and the N5 GT road lie close to the location of the Lahore Smart City. According to Deal and Deals – platinum partners of smart cities, the society’s first phase will be developed on 20000 Kanals of land. The developers of this housing society are in talks with the LDA to make this project a part of the upcoming Ravi View Downtown mega project.
