Abstract

Urbanization is a process which is gradually reshaping the population of Pakistan from a nation of farmers and villages to a nation of urban dwellers. Yet this process, so critical to the quality of life in Pakistan's future, is not wen understood. The literature of demography and development is liberally sprinkled with reports and articles dealing with both general theories of urbanization and case studies, but the processes and underlying factors affecting urbanization in Pakistan have as yet received little attention.1 Research designed to identify the underlying factors and interpret the urbanization process in Pakistan is currently undt;rway, and it is the purpose of this paper to provide some background information on urbanization in Pakistan as well as to describe the directions of future research
